Unfortunately, medicine today isn't deterministic. A lot of decisions are made with 'instinct' -- a fancy word for intangible experience. Human error is always going to be an issue. What might prevent human error in the design of said automated systems?
- nitrogen 16y agoIt is conceivable that automated medicine would have a lower failure rate for common diseases than "instinct."
- gnok 16y agoI can agree with that. But you've made two implicit assumptions here: 1. The disease is diagnosed and identified as 'common' 2. There are no other complications because of say alcohol abuse, or a genetic condition with kidneys and so forth
