after reading this article it made me think about and episode of Scrubs I was watching the other day, where Dr. Cox made a decision that led to 3 deaths of his patients and after he was afraid to make decisions during the episode. I thought to myself it must be difficult to make a decisions that could affect peoples lives, would having a machine help make those decisions easier an more accurate?

I mean sure you have doctors that have 20 years of experience but still get the diagnosis wrong even it if it's close, but still it seems that compared to machines that get feed large amounts of data still come up short to. I think saying machines will replace doctors is the wrong approach, in the article one of the doctors interviewed said "If it helps me make decisions with greater accuracy, I’d welcome it”. Thats we need more tools that enable doctors to make more accurate decision than going on an experienced hunch.

I think it's great this subject is being explored it will help more people, and doctors do their jobs even better.
