> But because they're overworked, and they have to care for many patients who they don't personally know
I keep hearing this whining about overwork, and yet when the subject of residency quota set by the AMA comes up or delegating duties to nurses with almost the same amount of schooling suddenly you can hear crickets in the room.
> In fact, I believe the way most doctor's appointments work is that the doctor gets a list of symptoms, then matches it against a checklist of what they were taught / experience to form a diagnosis. Very similar to an AI algorithm. Of course this isn't as easy as it seems, you can't just Google the symptoms yourself.
Yes you can, and should. Remember half doctors out there are below average...
