And then maybe it will be a third era where we get AI and then we get our time back.
And I don't know, maybe my era was the death pit.
But I don't know, that could also be wishful thinking because it's just so hard to predict what could happen.
Yeah, I'm just wondering if you imagine yourself now as the 98-year-old talking to your mentee who's in their 50s or whatever.
Like, what might
be saying to them?
and nurse practitioners as well
With the explosion of nurse practitioners and PAs and with the explosion of AI and the explosion of medical knowledge and medical technology, how do you see the physician identity evolving?
You know, I feel like
It's such an ancient thing.
Like you kind of trace it back to, we just interviewed a historian and she was joking that back in, I think
like ancient Rome, you would get sick, you would go to the place on the hill and wait in the antechamber and pay your pittance to the person and then you would wait longer and then you would go into the chamber and then the priest would come and
She was like, this was all ancient stuff, but it's shocking how similar it is to what we have today, where you go and there's a waiting room, an antechamber, and then you're pulled back into the priestly area and then you wait and then the doctor comes in.
And it's just such a rich tradition.
There's, you know...
scientific traditions, there's cultural traditions, there's medical literary traditions, there's medical writers, you know, whether it was like Hippocrates style science writing, to more, you know, Chekhovian cultural, you know, physician artist writing, to some of the more contemporary writing, you know, Atul Gawande's and things like that, and the prototypical Nobel laureate, physician scientists, like it is just such a rich culture and tradition.
And then the little cherry on top is like your crowning achievement is like that you're smart, is that you've gone to school for a million years and you've learned all this stuff.
And now AI might be better at generating a differential diagnosis than we are.
And then there's all these NPs and PAs around who are doing similar stuff.
So I don't know, do you feel like there's a threat to the physician ego or the physician identity as we move forward?
