Have you ever had anything besides a bad cold? Tell me you understand every acronym in this article, and the ability to explain it succinctly to a patient much less to be able to hand off a case to "another" physician https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206714

Doctors and nurses have saved me many times from some very close calls because of decades of experience, training and intuition. That is of course not to mention the friend who beat a deep brain tumor on their brain stem that everyone else told them was inoperable, and now are in medical school themselves for neurology. No LLM is going to pull that out of itself, possibly ever, and certainly not GPT-4 (no one else had ever had the surgery done before, it was novel).
