Based on recent experiences in the medical system, AI replacements will probably be an improvement.
the issue is not with individual doctors or nurses.
the issue lies with for profit healthcare providers being slaves to the insurers. i work with providers daily; they are overworked and often are not able to provide the best care possible because the system sees people as a collection of data/telemetry to optimize.
it's disgusting, shameful, and damn near barbaric. not if you have a lot of money though.
As someone with a rare disease that took seeing literally dozens of doctors over 20 years to get a diagnosis, I'd prefer an AI doctor for diagnosis and maintenance. I'd prefer a human doctor working with AI for treatment.
In my experience, critical thinking is lacking in the medical profession.
That was bound to happen ever since "doctors make lots of money" became common knowledge and a bunch of people looking to become wealthy decided to go to med school. That combined with for-profit schools caused this problem. Schools that flunk out unworthy potential doctors are unable to continue collecting tuition from them. There's no incentive to expel students for poor grades.
My healthcare all rolled over like it does every single year... Except for my prescription plan. I had to register an account on their terrible website for both my wife and I before they would allow us to use our plan.
Doctors, I'd be okay with switching to AI. Medical issues are pattern-matching, so I wouldn't mind. I'd want a human to review the AI analysis.
I don't know about that for nurses. Nurses are the ones who deal with patient care. A good nurse is listening, making sure you're well treated and provide bedside support. There are a lot of things AI won't be able to pick up.
Pharmacist/chemist? I can see it.
Anesthesiologist? Maybe? I don't think so.
Surgeon? Probably not.
Front desk person? Absolutely.
Do you have any relevant healthcare experience which informs this opinion?
