There are two types of medical conditions
1) Those you see a doctor for
2) Those you don't
The line depends on where you live. In a poor village, 100% might be the latter, while an executive in SFO will see a doctor for anything serious, but might not if they cut themselves with a kitchen knife.
What's underrated is the ability to have basic medical care and information everywhere, all the time, for free.
That can be casual injuries below the threshold of visiting a doctor (am I better heating or icing? immobilizing or stretching?), or those can be settings where there are no doctors.
Even more, doctors (like AIs) make mistakes, and it's often helpful having a second opinion.
