I don't believe this is true. there was an attempt to add AI(sort of) to medicine in the form of decision support tools , but doctors didn't like them because it took autonomy from their job and made it boring: instead of figuring all kinds of stuff, suddenly doctors are being told what do by a machine.

It would be even worse psychologically - if some machine comes up and makes better diagnoses, then it means a multitude of cases where the doctor will violently disagree with the machine, (s)he will know what's right for the patient.. and still be wrong in most, but not all the cases, so listening to the doctor would, on average, mean harming patients. So much potential for conflict.
