Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoDoctors are a product of their training. The issue is that doctors are trained like humans are cars and they have tools to fix the cars.
Human problems are complex and the medecine field is slowly catching up, especially medecine targetted toward women, which was pretty lacking.
It takes time to transform a system and we are getting there slowly.

Lacking for either sex. Even though they’re wrong any way, did you know the supplement RDA are all for women?
And… I’m not sure how much it’s really catching up, and how much it’s just reeling out just enough placatium to let the racket continue.
“For-Profit Medicine”'s an oxymoron that survives with its motto “A patient cured is a customer lost.”. … And a dead patient is just a cost of business. … No wonder “Medicine” is the biggest killer. Especially when you consider how much heart disease and cancer (and most other disease) is from bad medical advice too, thus making all 3 of the top biggest killers (and others further down the list) iatrogenic^1^.
We may be getting there so slowly as to take longer than the life of the universe, given how so much is still headed in the wrong direction away from mending the system, since seemingly all of the incentives (certainly the moneyed incentives) are all pushing the other way… to maximising wealth extraction, rather than maximising health. We’ve let the asset managers, the vulture capitalists, get their fangs into the already long time corrupted health care systems (some places more than others), and from here, we’ll see it worsen faster, perhaps to a complete collapse asymptote, as the rotters eat out all sustenance from within it.
