God knows medicine is a money making business and motives for doing the right thing for the patient often clash with what big pharma and certain medical establishments wish for.
Theres going to come a day where you wont see primary care--you talk to AI figure who will diagnose you over a computer. I work with a doctor from U of A who just carries around his phone. When he talks to patient it filters out all the BS extra conversation and goes straight into a concise proper history an exam (hich he can edit) then formulates an assessment and plan autoimatically transcribing onto Cerna (his medical record) all the stuff you need to properly document and get reimbursed by whoever is paying. He can see 40-50 people plus in a shift. he think the days coming where radiologist will be obsolete--AI will take over. reading all images. The only way you will survive in medicine is if you are doing hands on stuff. the day is coming where the rest of it will be AI generated information gathering and formulating a plan. Providers may have a piece in examiningt he patient kind of all they will be needed for . And you can pretty much figure out 90% of whats going on just by asking questions without the exam.
When it gets to that point I dont see as many medical lawsuits--dont know how you can argue with a computer directed diagnosis and plan--wont be as much malpractice i would think. I would think all the extra money that is spent for consultations and additional testing would disappear with also AI. The more tests you run the more tests you have to run can be a viscious circle
Medical costs across the country could crash while at the same time a lot of medical jobs will also disappear.
All this in 10 years the way things are going.
glad i'm getting out now
