> But what's worse is that often times doctors are reluctant to find out more about a patient's illness simply because they believe "it wouldn't affect treatment and it's not worth it anyway". It doesn't take a scientist to figure out why this approach can be disastrous. Some tests will not change management (just get a chest ct? no chest x-ray needed); other tests could change management but are unlikely to have an unusual result (have appendicitis? skin biopsy is probably not indicated). So without context it's possible to both agree and disagree with you equally emphatically. > At the same time, high-paying private patients are often considered to be worth finding out the specifics. More often, it seems that people who can pay push for and get unnecessary services, finding out specifics in a way that does not affect management. I am still very curious to hear from the creators of this company how they think it will affect management, and whether they have an example. Medicine needs a huge amount of change. Whether or not this affects management basically determines whether this has utility or is simply high-end entertainment.
