My personal opinion there are some medical providers who get so lost in the mechanics of the body and disease process that they forget they’re treating a human being. Medical ethicists and even more front line social workers and patient advocates are needed to keep things in perspective. Care teams are essential in modern medicine.
I need to learn about this new group of gatekeeper, thank you for bringing my attention to them.
Hmmm... Most of that I'll agree with except that most doctors (not so much nurses) these days are exclusively drug pushers. You must follow the approved script for symptom X. AI is better at this already. I don't want doctors that aren't going to treat me, holistically, unless I've suffered acute trauma.
