The attending physician in a modern hospital system is primarily a manager. Their main concern is treatment of the patient's medical issue, but their role isn't limited to that. This patient is refusing care but also refuses to leave, what do we do? How should we schedule care around a patient who requires the entire floor to assist in daily activities of living? They may not get the last word on matters outside of their responsibilities, but being the physician their words carry weight. This role has remained pretty much constant through the modern medical system, even as medicines change and nurses and technicians gain more responsibilities. A computer cannot perform that role with the current paradigm of AI, even the worst and most arrogant doctor is more qualified leader than any computer.
