Note - link is to site and could not locate actual article with an external search.

I searched the rest of teh web instead and revealed an article from last year [1] ... reads very close to what I found at [2] which is today - yesterday.

The Chinese have also been working with a couple hundred doctors to create an LLM that can help with triage.

Done correctly there should be little doubt with anyone who's had ended up questioning some of the silly things said, that a LLM will be a lot more accurate, not have to be told about certain drug interactions, considered rather than ignored the rare side effects of some potent medications and not spiral into a cascade of additional issues due to missteps and treating for symptoms that, had they bothered to read the warning labels, realised the patient was hitting a tipping point.

I certainly aim to have add a health directive for hospital admission that I prefer a doctor is very much aware apparently normal blood pressure is not definitive of being properly hydrated. I meet a dozen of so last year that seemed blindly unaware and argued the point with me ... it's sad that pretty much the obvious things (check points) came to pass as I said they would. I'm forever mad at myself for not insisting a nose tube for my Mother who though other things were at hand was suffering mostly from what was extreme dehydration - just beaten down and the mental exhaustion of BS all around me.

It seems like anybody is better than many doctors; why not AI..

I know someone's mom who had tumor the size of an orange in her brain that had gone undetected for a decade.. She was told that, the fact that he limbs were not working properly, was because of arthritis.

Another person with bacterial lung infection from soil while on vacation was told that it was cancer; that center got shut down for misdiagnosis because poor reading of the Xray.

Another person that I knew had gone to doctor for spinal pain which was result of a disk rupture was told, as she gets older, she won't feel it as much so she shouldn't worry too much, the pain will get dull after a while. The doctor that I took her to, was literally laughing out loud after hearing that.
