Hmm, I think this misunderstands what doctors do... It is not about making elaborate or obscure diagnoses, passing exams or applying the latest research given that one is always working in a resource-limited system. It is about treating illness in the context of a person, their beliefs and their lifestyle, with sensitivity and compassion. The doctor-patient relationship is complex and very human, and doctors in some form will be involved even if they are at some point supported by AI.
