Yep. The system in general is great for treatment, but fails for diagnosis. It takes them a long time to diagnose, sometimes years. But once they manage to do it, then they bring in all the heavy artillery and the health care machine works at it's best.
Sadly, it's often too late. Looks to be the case here, appears clearly a diagnosis delay. It does not take much for a skilled system to connect "airport worker" and the right lab readings together.
I can't imagine what these people would have gone through. They would have been given the "just a flu" treatment for some days, and then waited many more days for appointments. RIP.
PS: What you've said is pretty eye opening! This would amplify a lot of the diagnosis problems.
- M95D 29d agoThat's because lots of investment money go in treatments, not diagnosis. Diagnosed patients are captive consumers. They will pay to get better. AI has the potential to help a lot with diagnosis, but considering that many relevant data don't even enter the system, I have doubts about how effective it could be. On the other hand, I would not trust a cloud AI (or cloud in general) to process my medical data. The temptation to abuse that access for marketing, profiling, insurance prices, etc. would be irresistible.
