Well at least that part is cool.  AI might slay us all, but if so, it will supply us better battlefield medics in the meantime.

 

Fun aside: I was recently having some health challenges, saw a bunch of medics from different fields, perhaps 30 of them.  They figured it out, better now thanks (deetz not necessarily available in this forum.)

 

I noticed a huge contrast between now and a previous nightmare in December 2019 when I was an early ocovid-catcher (no deetz available on that either (not in this forum (I survived that (according to some reliable accounts.))))  

 

I saw a bunch of doctors then too, because they didn’t yet know what it was and their medical books didn’t know either.  But this time I noticed a huge difference: this time, every medic from every discipline came to a similar conclusion, and all knew all the right terminology, used everything correctly, making them all look brilliant.  They came across as knowing exactly what the hell they were doing and seeing, even the silly boneheads like Dr. Archie Morris (look him up) and “Doctor” Dave Malucci (look him up too (one could never quite tell with Malucci.))

 

I began to wonder if the medical community had somehow discovered smart pills and they all prescribed them to themselves.  I listened to their terminology, googled them on my phone, discovered how they knew so much, soon understood enough of their terminology, I had several doctors ask me if I was a doctor.  I would of course come up with some snarky something (I watched ER a lot, and I did go thru Stanford.  (They: Went thru Stanford?  When?  Me: Yesterday on the way here.  (arrrrarararararrrr love that gag (they did too.))

 

Lesson: if you are seeing the medics, use all available resources, learn their terminology, get some sophistication, you get more from the services you are buying.  You learn to ask exactly the right questions.  Use the hell outta MedicAI, get your money’s worth out of the medics. 

 

They didn’t discover smart pills, they are all using AI, and getting right to the right answers.
