Then you're allowing your software developer to dictate medical care, not your doctor.
And frankly, this type of response (the software knows better than the doctor/human) is (again) a root cause of problems like the Therac-25 incedent.
The system needs to conform to the doctors, not vice-versa.
- bluGill 6y agoA bit of both. The medical system has long known that doctors are too much "cowboy" and not following useful process. Many doctors resisted hand washing in the late 1800s. User interaction studies have made great progress. A lot of software ignores that. Likewise we know a lot of ways to write high quality software that are ignored in your typical web app. However we also know that doctors are human and they fail often. while computer systems do fail, those failures are much easier to fix once and for all.
