I'm in medical school and I'm afraid I'm wasting my entire youth and going into extreme debt just to graduate and be replaced with AI and have no way to pay my debt and be part of the permanent underclass
>>34911326I'm a failed doctor.What country, Why did you go in, What path do you plan to take, what level are you in, What do you like and what do you hate about it?
>>34911338USAI went in because I like medicine, I still like medicine. I like everything in medicine. I just fear AI is going to destroy the profession.
>>34911342"I like medicine". Do you like it as in the science, or do you like it as in the kitchen-like hustle and obsessive memorization contests plus humilliation rituals? This is why saying your level matters, this shit is multistage.AI won't destroy the profession. Doctors must function as the human-machine interface. The "academic" role of a doctor has always been overrated, I didn't feel actualized when I saw patients, just that I was looking up shit in my mental or physical dictionaries.I have always seen the future of medicine to be specialized trades with average pay, like dentistry and physiotherapy. In fact, you don't know nothing about the mouth or muscles because those guys take that piece of the pie. One should be grateful actually that the scope will be reduced to specialization from the beginning, at least until the insurance-lawsuit industry collapses.
>>34911342Ai will never replace doctors...it may be implemented as a tool for radiologist and pathologists if implemented into a robust closed loop commercial system, but even then ai cannot take medical responsibility.As a related aside early cancer screening ai was trained on massive dataset and achieved a high efficiency rating on sample data photos...only for data scientists to realize it detected the ruler (for measuring tumor size) used in cancer positive imagesThat is to say 1 hallucination, deviation or error in data or patient (various generic markers, race, age, the equipment used etc) could cost a lifeIf you got into med school be proud, and know this already cause your smart. (I'm trying to get into pharma school now which is arguably more impacted by ai lol)
>>34911326I know things are looking bad right now, but let me cheer you up! You are also part of one of the essential castes bound to become the scapegoats for the upcoming mass depopulation genocides!
>>34911326That's not how it works. Doctors will be needed because of the aging population. It's a safe career.
>>34911367How is it safe if you could use AI for all the cognitive things and then use an NP or someone who did a year long course to learn how to do a physical exam for the physical things?
>>34911369Worst case scenario is you being a caretaker for the olds. But that's what a doctor is anyway.
>>34911369Brother. You have been brainwashed.Did you seriously think studying all that biochemistry bullshit ever mattered? I could teach a 12yo to be a clinician and I could have him trained and performing the same as any practicing doctor in 2 years. On his free time even.A NP, DO, PA, all have the same roles and education. MD is a caste, it's a concept that only exists in the US, It's a caste that justifies that retarded insurance-legal bubble. Finally the bubble will pop, because it was never anything more than a scam.The real role of the doctor is to be a Customer Service Clerk within the Operations Section of a Healthcare Establishment. Medicine is not an artisan guild anymore, it's a service industry and it will be subject to the processes of industry.Here's the "worst case" scenario. Healthcare lobbyists break up clinical services as technical careers with 5 years of college education. First year you see Physio, Anatomy, Histo. Second year you see basic pharma, patho, and preventive medicine. The rest of 3 years they see the clinical aspects of their specialty and done.Poof. No more residency bullshit, no more med school, no more mcat, no fucking american jackshit. Medical services supply goes up, salaries go down, liability goes lower, patients keep being given the same standard care. Lawsuit lawyers get fucked.This is how it should have always been. You're practicing during the early years of that transition. Some jew will fight hard so you can still be a special snowflake, and that transition will take decades, or maybe it won't at all.Anyways, as things get easier, the bottleneck becomes harder, so don't get your head on the clouds, you may become a "failure" just like I am, and then you will be begging for side branches into clinical again. You could end up comitting suicide you know.
>>34911326Aim for surgery. We're decades and decades away from finding technology reliable enough to replace surgical percision of people.
>>34911326just do cosmetic surgery, shit's booming at ludicrous speed
>>34911817That's like the hardest thing to match into and I genuinely do not want to do it>>34911812Strongly considering surgery. Not sure if I can physically handle it or if I want the lifestyle but I am definitely interested in operating.
