You'll find these laws privileging certain folks are contoured and controlled by the individuals who have already been granted such privilege to discourage and limit competition. Not because it's good in any way for the client.

Protectionism hurts all of society to benefit a few.

Perhaps this is a language barrier, but I genuinely do not understand what is meant by this. Like, what does this have to do with protectionism, who are the "folks" in this case, etc. Honestly asking.

Doctors control who can be a doctor, what is required to be a doctor, what doctors can and can't do, and that people are forced to go to them for Healthcare ... all to protect their personal income. Not to better Healthcare. Not to expand access to Healthcare. But precisely to make it cost more to get. They are hurting society to benefit themselves.

Yeah, politely, respectfully, no.

Don't know where to start, but I want to assure you, no matter where on this planet you live, Medical Doctors are generally not at fault for high costs of care. Depending on which health care system we are talking about, the particulars may be different, but no, MDs are not interested in worsening patient care for their own benefit. Kinda difficult considering the amount of uncompensated labor and stress compared to other higher paying occupations. Ask a trainee/resident/equivalent for your local health care system if you want some details.

And people are "forced" to go to an MD for medical treatment in the same way they are "forced" to go to any other domain specific expert, it is where the experience and liability lie because they have undertaken the time, training and exams to ideally assure a specific level of care.

Incidentally, has absolutely zero to do with LLMs and the fact that this is cloud hosted software, not an entity, being or anything of the sort, so shouldn't receive any special considerations beyond what we afford to cloud hosted content. Couldn't find anything on patient data processing in that MF collection linked and as that was his area of work, was purely US centric. Medical care is however the purview of medical professionals outside the US as well, including in countries with far higher patient outcomes. If there is an applicable argument, just quote that directly over linking a collection of clips.

To bring this back to the topic at hand, LLMs can and are being used in Medical Practice already. And neither did Doctors prevent that, nor did that require a law change, because, as stated before, it is merely data being input and processed. There are EU MDRd apps for skin cancer, there are on-prem LLM solutions that adhere to existing patient privacy regulations, etc.

Basically, Doctors do not stand in the way of LLM usage (neither could they, nor do they have the time) and even if they wanted to, LLM input and output is just data and gets treated accordingly.

I can represent myself in court, but I can't prescribe my own medication. If one does not go to the doctor to get those drugs they'll die, so yes: forced.

All you assured me of is that you didn't watch the video.
