Flick 🇬🇧 (nprofile…d30v) I don't think it's a bad idea to use AI to create lists of diagnosis, as currently we're reliant on a GP's memory and experience. So they dismiss things because they've never seen it before, or consider it rare (whether it is or not, and rare doesn't mean never), but we still need the doctor to consider the entire list in light of the patient before them and not just weight to the most common at the top of the list - because that's same as now.
basically an AI list of all possible diagnoses with x symptoms means House without the obnoxious and expensive team.
Similarly if AI is restricted in treatment options to the cheapest and commonest drugs, and doesn't get updated daily with new research it's just more of the same. But imagine if this list got updated with new drugs - especially offlabel use of existing ones - and a harassed GP had something new to suggest when the patient came back saying the first 4 things didn't help.
Currently we have cardiac specialists in hospitals refusing to treat POTS because it's not real/I've never seen it/I'm not trained in that/it's untreatable. When in fact there are 11 different drugs, and success is hitting just the right combination of 2-3 of them, which takes a lot of effort.
