You referred to this idea of uploading your medical record to Claude.
You said, ultimately, it'll probably happen through things like MyChart.
But right now, is that something you'd recommend?
Do you think, you know, you hear these stories and I just saw a news report today that 15 to 20% of white collar jobs may be at risk as a result of AI.
I'm curious what you think of that in terms of the impact on jobs.
And would you encourage medical students to go into fields like radiology at this point?
Or how worried are you about that?
The idea, again, with the radiologists in particular, there was a study that came out about, I think it was mammography, at how the AI platform actually did a better job at finding breast cancer than human radiologists.
Even if it's not replacing doctors, do you think society gets to the point where, hey, man, I think that that AI platform is actually better at reading my scans than a human.
I want the AI platform.
I actually don't want the human to be doing this.
Yeah, this is such a fascinating point.
And in neurosurgery, we have these technologies, for example, where we use image guidance in the operating room.
So we're using, it's not a robot, but basically we're impregnating all the tools in the operating room with these LED sensors.
We have these cameras.
So we have a visual sort of representation of the patient in the room at all times.
But sometimes, Bob, I'll say to my residents, I'll say, hey, let's pretend that
that the technology failed.
And now you got to do it, quote unquote, the old fashioned way.
And 10 years ago, when I would say that, it kind of made sense.
