The right is already working hard on that

As long as the AI has access and can accurately interpret your medical history

This is the crux of the issue imo. Interpreting real peoples’ medical situations is HARD. So the patient has a history of COPD in the chart. Who entered it? Did they have the right testing done to confirm it? Have they been taking their inhalers and prophylactic antibiotics? The patient says yes but their outpatient pharmacy fill history says otherwise (or even the opposite lol) Who do we believe, how do we find out what most likely happened? Also their home bipap machine is missing a part so better find somebody to fix that, or get a new machine.

Everyone wants to believe that medicine is as simple as “patient has x y z symptom, so statistics say they’ve got x y z condition,” when in reality everything is intense shades of grey and difficult to parse, overlapping problems.

Do you have any relevant healthcare experience which informs this opinion?

Not completely but I’m still worried. For example, a lot of inpatient places now have telemedicine capability, where a camera turns on in patient rooms and someone remotely can talk to people, observe what’s going on, put in orders, etc. Some places are using this to reduce the amount of actual on-site people, leading to worse nurse to patient ratios, or (imo) unsafe coverage models for patients who need hands-on care or monitoring. They added on a tele role like this onto my job description over a year ago, and I objected on moral grounds.

If this tech gets off the ground, I can easily imagine the telemedicine human beings being replaced by AI.

Probably depends on how everyone else disappeared

The word “especially” in my comment implies that I was not just speaking about inpatient settings, and which would include these outpatient communication roles. I bring up inpatient because they’d like to replace us there as well.

So learn some reading comprehension instead of being a dick.

Anyone who thinks this is remotely possible or a good idea has no idea what healthcare providers actually do on a day to day basis- especially in inpatient settings like hospitals

Imo the biggest differences are the jump and that you are stunned for SO LONG after taking a hit in DS3. Otherwise I find them pretty close.

Sinoatrial node stops working = fall down go boom

Anime yeah. Nothing super obscure. Right now I’m watching JJK, Frieren, and FMAB. Excited for demon slayer and MHA to start back up too.

It’s a tough choice between some professional accomplishments and my relationship with my wife

It’s certainly not ideal but is probably necessary to develop the technology. In a handful of years I’m hoping there will be less toxic options.

This may sound like a rhetorical question but I promise it’s sincere.

Why would I be more concerned about China having my data than when the US has the potential to collect that same data AND MUCH MORE through surveillance that we know they do? My own government has a much higher potential to do me harm than one on the other side of the world.
