Should AI Replace Your Doctor?

“Will AI replace doctors?” makes for a great headline, a great dinner party argument, and a great way to stress out a podcast co-host. It’s also, unfortunately, the wrong question. In a follow up to our last episode, we respond to our listeners’ feedback. We put co-host and radiologist Jonathan Mates on the spot and use radiology as our test case — the specialty that’s been at the center of this conversation longer than any other, partly because the job looks simple from the outside. You look at pictures. AI looks at pictures. What’s the problem? It turns out there are a lot of problems. We get into what radiology actually involves, why AI can be impressive and still not replace humans, and some other factors we need to consider when answering this (wrong) question.

How should you and your doctor use AI?

One in four ChatGPT users — roughly 200 million people a week — use it for health questions. About a third of them end up changing their medications or requesting referrals based on what it tells them. Is that brilliant, terrifying, or both? In this episode, we dig into the question everyone is asking themselves, whether they want to or not: How should my doctor be using AI? And how should I? We bring in Rachel Lomasky [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rlomasky?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios] — an AI scientist and expert — to help us give both the patient perspective and a realistic view of what AI is capable of.

Should you get that test your doctor ordered?

Doctors’ ability to see inside their patients with lab and imaging tests is one of the miracles of modern medicine. Without tests, we’re just guessing!  But the unsaid truth is that doctors overtest patients, and that may be doing more harm than good to patients, doctors, and the entire health care system. In this episode, we sit down with cardiologist Dr. Jeff Sobel to understand the forces behind overtesting and how he is taking on the problem in his system. Show Notes: 1.
