Raw LLM Responses

I can see how so called AI can be of assistance to a radiologist in certain ways like outlining or coloring specific areas or following a complex structure or vessels/nerves across images but in general this frenetic enthusiasm for AI in medicine that goes back to at least the 70's has not panned out in any meaningful way in clinical practice for some of the reasons as stated by this obviously very smart and articulate professional radiologist. The software and other engineers insist on foisting all manner of stuff on the medical profession that often is not practical or actually gets in the way. Number one on that list is the electronic medical record systems. All kinds of grand ideas and enthusiastic claims but in day to day practice just stupid junk that is a major pain and slows medical care making it far less efficient that just jotting a quick note or fast dictation. There is so much additional imaging being obtained - mostly not needed, just adding confusion and steering patients to unnecessary potentially dangerous care that radiologist will not be threatened by so called AI, they will continue to thrive as they shovel loads of BS looking t=for the occasional medically legitimate difference maker. As for Africa , the situations there are often ridiculous not because the people are not fine people (which they are ) but because there is often severe and systemic corruption. There is no country that should not be able to well afford whatever # of scanners that would make sense. Its just that the money to do so is going elsewhere. Likewise if many of those countries would spend less on training soldiers in lieu of radiologists and other MDs their health systems could begin to rival what should be expected. If they need defense they should instead enter into far less expensive defense alliances with the US, UK, the Dutch, etc. (but not the Italians ;-) As for me i love the radiologists, they are a big help and if i want to be humbled i go to one of their conferences and see how little i know.
