Comment on A self-contained doctor's office, powered by artificial intelligence, where you — the patient — draw your own blood and take your own vitals.

I am in absolute agreement with one small caveat.

If I can go some place and have the triple test done for like $5 I am totally in. Flu, strep, and Covid are all tests that a run on me and my kids when any of us don’t feel well. (Me when I am just done and can’t move) my kids when they go to the nurses office and I get called to pick them up due to a fever. If this can potentially replace urgent care and get me a prescription to treat me and my kids for one of the minor issues that are tested positive for I’m totally in on that.

If these tests come back negative then we go to our real doctor and get thing figured out.

I know this may not be its actual use case. However, I can see this as being a potential benefit. This could potentially provide lower cost care for people who otherwise wouldn’t get their kids tested for any of these things and send them right back to school, continuing the sickness to other students.

Anything else you talk to a real person.
