Well, my recent visits to GP convinced me that unless you need a surgery or further checks such as X-Ray, MRI, blood tests, then you don’t really need a human.
These recent visits I saw junior doctors, one of them literally pulled Google to ask a question.
Any job that requires “memorising” things can be automated with generative AI.
Your junior doctor sucks. I visited a endocrinologist who did the same thing repeatedly during a routine visit. Uninspiring was an understatement.
The ability to iteratively observe and inquire to explore the state and the limits of the patient is NOT something automated docs will be able to do anytime soon. Diagnosis is a trivial task compared to learning who the patient is and how involved they actually will be in managing their own health.
