Kevin Surace says doctors can't keep up with medical knowledge, so AI helps patients research their conditions faster. He recommends using AI like a library visit to supplement doctor visits, but warns that AI answers need fact-checking.
This claim about doctors falling behind AI is hard to ignore. I know a lot of people listening to this are gonna say, no, I simply listen to what my doctor says 'cause he or she knows. They certainly knew what they knew in 1982 when they graduated, I can guarantee you. But that may be the last major study they read 'cause they don't have time. They're treating patients, right? So, you know, that is one data point and you want as many other data points as you can to make a decision on your life, on your health, right? So I encourage people, just as I would've encouraged you to go to the library read up on it. AI is short-circuiting that and allowing you to get answers really fast, and not all will be right, but all are interesting to ponder.
