It goes the other way as well. My aunt is an RN and she loves to tell the story about the time that a doctor was in such a rush one time she had to call his attention to the fact that his patient was dead.

Here's a fun question: would that be due to gross inattention on the doctor's part or gross overwork due to patient/provider ratios being skewed into bizarro world by cost-cutting measures on the part of the hospital?

Yes both of which could be helped by augmenting the healthcare system with AI to relieve practitioners from repetitive, menial tasks

[forgetfreeman]

You mean like how healthcare providers were relieved by advancing legions of PAs and NPs into general medicine? If that approach worked we would have seen improvements to healthcare metrics by now. We haven't.
