The way medical education programs are structured is inhumane, no amount of money would convince me to go through it in its current form (assuming a north american perspective). Source: most of my family are in medicine.

- That's not what I'm insinuating.
- What's missing here is the risk of the medical device not performing as expected on real patients. These risks are usually mitigated reasonably by medical device manufacturers and designers such that it doesn't matter that "AI medical devices" are not trained on real patient data.
The FDA keeps a database of all adverse events reported by manufacturers or healthcare systems [1], so we can check in a few years if these AI medical devices are causing an uptick of complaints.

- It's called tea-tasting but doesn't include Fisher's exact test :(

- I have wanted to write a very similar article to this, but regarding the accuracy of various search engines and LLMs in returning factual information quickly. I've done my own quick tests to evaluate all the different engines, and have found that just for factual information retrieval Google is actually better than most other options out there.
- This is not unique to the US where MBAs / business-minded people are the driving factor for healthcare workers being overworked.
In Canada most fully-trained doctors are paid per patient (AKA fee-for-service)[1] and so there is a huge incentive to rush through as many patients in a day, which results in overwork for the residents (who are salaried) and nurses (also salaried), and no time for adequate education of medical students and residents.
