healthcare ai

Like imagine going to your gp for knee pain that gets worse after exercise with no obvious point of injury and having them ask no further questions, do no physical exam, and order xrays.

In fact, imagine having a GP who refuses to touch you at all, even when explicitly asked by other physicians to do things like remove stitches or check iud placement.

Anyway, you can plug the exact schpiel I gave to my doctors into an ai chatbot and it will spit out my correct diagnoses along with 2-3 other possibilities and the questions/tests to discriminate among them (which are correct!)

I have three primary things wrong with me: one affects 20% of women, one affects 1% of people, and the other affects 10% of women. I had pretty textbook and moderate-severe presentations. The first took a decade to diagnose, the second two decades, and the third three. And I sure didn't get adequate treatment right away after diagnosis either.

If doctors want people to trust them over something that regurgitates their textbooks mixed with random patient forum advice, maybe they should read their goddamn textbooks and pay attention to the lived experience of their patients.
