Regardless what the next step is in the research, medical ChatGPT may be how we get Universal Healthcare. With or without physician or insurance changes and for Better or Worse.
Be careful what you wish for you just might get it.
I totally agree with study John's conclusion. Doctors are going to have to give more personal service so the patients see their value. It will be the personal relationship that can set them apart from the computer knowledge. People are inundated with so much information, they need a doctor they trust to clarify for them.
I agree, Mary, doctors need to connect with their patients, but in reality it won't happen. Between EMRs and medical hoops that require jump throughs there is not time left and if there is, it must be filled with another paying patient. There is something to say for being cared for in the comfort and safety of their own homes. I remember a doctor coming to our house and treating me. And I remember feeling important and well cared for because somehow if a doctor comes to your house he must be brilliant.
Just wait. Pharma will start doing studies comparing physicians vs AI and use that to promote bypassing physicians for prescriptions. Then lobby Congress to have CMS pay for it with the idea that it will be cheaper since you don’t have a doctors visit to pay for.
Conspiratorial Rabbit hole, Maybe? But we will see.
Way many "likes" used by one of the panelists here. Sounds just like those lost teenagers who hang around outside some local mall with their skateboards. This "Like Stuff" does not inspire confidence when the user is supposedly a licensed MD.
She uses both “like” and “you know” excessively. It makes it hard to listen to her, but I don’t find it to be a marker of her intelligence. I see it as a nervous habit. My engineer husband does the same. He a brilliant, but an Introvert. Talking to a group is not in his comfort zone.

One point I was waiting to hear but didn't is that there is (so far) no pharmaceutical influence on the answers chatGPT offers versus providers.
