I think this is more a problem with your feeling than the actual process.
You're focusing on the person who got falsely detected as healthy, and are ignoring the people who would be correctly detected as unhealthy. That's why the important question is expected outcomes.
I don't really care whether the doctor gets to be morally culpable or not. I'm not sure why I would ever care about something like that as a patient. If I get sick and die, the fact that a person was responsible rather than an algorithm gives me precisely zero comfort.
