Yes, it’s changed. The changes are just more subtle than non-physicians have insight into. They’re technical details regarding -when- to treat what and for how long, which medications are first line now, etc.

I know that seems less in your face than what your example was, but... to a non-programmer, your job is identical to what it was a decade ago, too. You’re just typing a slightly different pattern words into a compiler than you did before. Turns out, people outside of a technical specialty have a pretty shitty understanding of the internal workings of that specialty.

My doctor friends understand what a techstacks and programming languages are and some of what it means for those to change. And I understand what a different ordering of treatments mean or what a change in target hb1ac/trglycerides levels are or why doctor's might pay more attention to CRP and certain VLDL numbers now than 10 years ago.

If you could find an article that describes the changes over the last 10 years, or write a description that would be especially persuasive. I searched for articles online but all the ones I found seemed to make the changes in the field seem minuscule over the last decade.
