Emotional support. Some human doctors absolutely radiate confidence and a kind of "you're gonna be okay" attitude. For me, this helps a lot. I'm not sure a machine can do this.

But I hate if the human doctor "radiates confidence" when I know he is not doing the proper scan, because I have to get back with worse symptoms first for him to take it serious. I don't need emotional support from a human doctor. I need the adequate scans and a proper analysis. I am pretty sure that a competent human will be still way better than AI, but AI even now will likely be better than a doctor not really paying attention.

You can hopefully get emotional support from your loved ones. If not a coach seems much more appropriate.
