A patient who is vomiting blood does not need a "vibe" or "spidey-sense" to figure out something is wrong. There are, however, a surprisingly large number of situations in which doctors have to work with rather less information about what is going on, especially when you move to the hospital.
I'm an anesthesiologist, so I don't have a clinic at all. I meet you just before surgery and we go. Vibes and spidey-senses matter a lot, because I don't have time to run down a two-week-long investigation of your problem - I have to fix it right now or you're dead.
Could AI improve me? Probably. Can the AI observe the way humans can? Not yet. Can they intervene like humans can? Not even close. When you have an autonomous robot that can successfully run down the American Society of Anesthesiologists' difficult airway algorithm, you're getting there.
