You can always blame those rich doctors for the problems in our health care in our country, but is it really the main cause? I'm not on that bandwagon....It is one of the reasons, but IMO not the main one....an interesting statistic....35.5% of Cdns are overweight and 30% are obese...so 65.5% of us are fat pigs....that IMO is at the heart of the problem...think of all the diseases and health issues directly related to weight issues....diabetes, stroke,heart attacks, bypass surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement, liver/kidney issues etc, etc... 1 in 10 Cdns has diabetes, a crisis????....the moment we decide to become proactive in our own health care, instead of reactive we will see a drop in lineups, IMO....the doctors are not the problem....we, the people, are the problem...so everybody...stop complaining and lose 50 lbs

Reducing triage down to a simple algorithm is probably the most useful thing AI can do... But they will never allow AI to counter the greed of big pharma or the FDA.

Insurance companies and lawyers have been dictating medical practice for many years... AI is streamlining that process as well.

Doctors have always been greedy and proud a'holes with a god complex...
Now, they're just pissed!
