So you talk about Foucault and the clinical gaze, uh which you already mentioned, but you also talk about other changes that have happened in medicine, like anesthesia turning
patients into passive bodies, evidence-based medicine.
Um, obviously we want to be making decisions based on evidence.
But like you said, sometimes you can lose the importance of that trusting relationship.
You also talk about the electronic health record.
So AI is not really the beginning of this change.
In some ways it's the crystallization of something that's been happening maybe for a long time.

were actually able to rehumanize in some

It's definitely empathetic, sometimes to the point of being sycophantic.
