> Doctors can be associating what they’ve learned, often with heavy biases from hypochondriacs

So true. And it's hard to question a doctor's advice, because of their aura of authority, whereas it's easy to do further validation of an LLMs diagnosis.

I had to change doctor recently when moving towns. It was only when chancing on a good doctor that I realised how bad my old doctor was - a nice guy but cruising to retirement. And my experience with cardiologists has been the same.

Happy to get medical advice from an LLM though I'd certainly want prescriptions and action plans vetted by a human.

How did you determine the new doctor is "good"?
