I don't automatically buy this.
Didn't heart attack care in the ER get dramatically better when people started following checklists? That suggests that human doctors aren't that great at even getting the basics correct.
In addition, most doctors are below average. So, maybe the best doctors are better than the AI. However, I may not have access to that doctor and the AI may be better than all the doctors I have access to.

- bsder 4y agoIt wasn't just "forgetting". Every doctor had their own take on diagnosis and the checklist was actually better than a lot of them since the checklist was constructed from data.
