Not only did the AI apparently hallucinate psilocybin consumption, but the doctor then hallucinated internal bleeding as a risk, which is not a known risk of such mushrooms. But this seems a bit click baity. You can challenge your medical record, and presumably an AI transcription service would be in there. Unless .au is special in that way.

The doctor probably didn’t even read it and there’s a good chance the AI program wrote the bit about bleeding too. Source: am physician who has tried these programs and doesn’t use them.

  It seems like this entire category of program is designed to make the same work take more time and more human attention. I can understand the appeal in the tech industry, where the increased costs can be deferred until the financial situation changes. But healthcare does not work like that.

    I think you are right, These scribe programs can be used to help save time up front, at the cost that you have to spend the time review at the end to review. As others have said, it’s easy to skip the review part when you are distracted, and if most notes are fine with no edits needed you start to think you can get away without reviewing closely.

      Why would anyone want a raw trascription in a medical record. There should be a summary and any suggestions, but the physician would still have to write the note, even if they are simply editing the AI summary. The physician would still be doing all the other charting where they enter conditions and problems.

Psychedelics do tend to cause dehydration as the body tries to filter them out, and if you don't have a steady fluid intake you can dry out pretty badly before it's done. (Source: I take LSD frequently) I'd be hesitant to connect that to internal bleeding right off the bat though. Definitely would not trust claims that internal bleeding is a first-order effect of the drug.
