You know, these are not life-changing conversations. They don't require tremendous compassion or brilliance in bedside manner at all. It's actually rare that I have to, relative to other diagnoses, that I have to deliver these life-changing ones. So, I think a lot of medicine can change and people are not going to

miss the more awkward conversations with their doctor about these sort of everyday, not so dangerous diagnoses. So I think medicine's in for a lot of change.

I do think it will probably get harder to maintain human relationship, though I do think that is very important. I think already with the technology we have, even without AIs that imitate humans nearly perfectly, we're more isolated as time goes on since we can kind of do almost everything in our daily lives without ever leaving the house. or often without even speaking to a human.

We accomplish so many things through websites, let's say personal finances and banking and all these other things. We don't interact with humans as much as we used to. Is it making us more lonely? Probably. As we interact less and less with humans, will we get lonelier? Probably. Hopefully we'll find ways to compensate.

We probably have to ramp up even the more human sides of our lives as we interact more and more. with ais i don't see the interaction with doctors as hopefully a big part of people's social lives you know hopefully it's a small part of their lives i guess if you have complicated serious disease you see quite a number of doctors and perhaps many specialists

And sadly, for some people, that might be the bulk of their social interactions in daily life. But hopefully humans can compensate for the kind of dehumanizing of more and more aspects of our lives by kind of ramping up the humanity of other parts. I guess we haven't done that super well lately, but hopefully we will.

The first takeaway I'd say is that as much as medicine feels like a very human endeavor, much of it is really just technical and a matter of customer service. And I think AI is going to do splendidly at that side. The second takeaway I would say is that there's really no going back. There's only going through and going forward.

And that applies to the way technology will affect healthcare and many other aspects of life. My third takeaway is that health care really needs to get into the 21st century in the way that it delivers care and interacts with patients. As many people have noticed, interacting with your doctor's office can be rather dreadful.

You have to sit in traffic, wait in the waiting room, get herded through your visit like an animal. And the communication can be terrible. You can wait for a callback for days and weeks or the results from your exams. And this all seems kind of stuck in the 20th or even the 19th century in some ways.

So while the technical side of medicine seems to be sprinting into the 21st century, the kind of customer service side of health care still seems rather dreadful and in need of updating quite dramatically.
