[quote=La Jolla Renter]Personally, I would take my chances with a good algorithm that has my lifetime history of blood panels, medical history, family history, dna, etc.
No way a primary care doctor is going to beat the algorithm. But sure would like a good one that likes studying the algorithm with me.
I found out years ago that I could order blood work online myself and get a more extensive test than my doctor orders. A better test for the same price at the same lab. I get the results emailed to me, study it, then go see my doctors for an annual check up. It does not go through my insurance, and I pay less.
Another reason I like the algorithm is that I have learned in life that 80% of all workers in their respected professions are mediocre or suck. Plumbers, mechanics, personal trainers, dentist, doctors, etc. (The only exception to this rule is politicians, where 99.9999% of them suck.)
I don’t think we need less doctors, just less sucky ones.[/quote]
Agree, DNA data would be a game changer.
so if 80% of the world suck, I think again that calls for the elimination of the human species in favor of AI and mechanical beings.
