When I applied to medical school in 1996, lots of people (attendings, residents, some family members) told me the profession was doomed because of HMOs, longer hours, and lower pay. It's been 30 years, and medicine is still in demand, with excellent job security. Don't let the current fatalists get you down. The world will always need doctors.
I don’t know if AI will replace doctors but I do think doctors can use AI to do their job better. Assume the average patient has 3 diagnoses and takes 5 medications. Those items alone have hundreds of thousands of scientific articles associated with them. What human can keep all this in their mind? It’s always been a little crazy what we expect doctors to remember. And all doctors use rules of thumb, pattern recognition and short cuts to work around the overwhelming data in medicine. If AI can search all the data out there and synthesize it, this should improve patient care beyond what humans can do alone. I think the standout doctors of the next era will use AI to do what it does best (digest massive amounts of data) and maximize their skills at things only humans can do.
عبثاً ما أكتب سيدتي
إحساسي أكبر من لغتي
وشعوري نحوك يتخطى
صوتي… يتخطى حنجرتي
عبثاً ما أكتب… ما دامت
كلماتي أوسع من شفتي
أكرهها كل كتاباتي
مشكلتي أنكِ مشكلتي
لأن حبي لك فوق مستوى الكلام
قررت أن أسكت…
والسلام.
