If you can actually bring down the training barrier for medical professionals that will be great. Given the critical effect a doctor cna have I see why training is how it is right now - hyper competitive to even get in, lots of book learned stuff and long residencies. However, I've been to terrible doctors so clearly there is room for improvement. I look forward to a show hn, even if it's a work in progress.

If you can diagnose any illness faster or more accurately, without having real world experience and you are doing better than a 20 year physician, to me, that puts the concept of "practicing medicine" to a new light. I've no qualms about the levels of complexity for this endeavor. I remember sketching out my first algorithm for a "simple" heart attack and kept running out of paper and nearly had an aneurysm.
