That actually scares the bejezus out of me. Who's programming the computers to do medical diagnosis? If it's derived from the same idiots that couldn't tell the difference between bronchitis caused by bugs that respond to antibiotics and the type of bronchitis caused by simple non-severe acid reflux or that can't tell the difference between a heart attack, a gall bladder attach, and a minor electrolyte imbalance, that misdiagnosed me over and over, we're going to be in deep Kimchi. It cost me my teeth and damned near my life. They also said I had a neuropathy in my ankles and feet and wanted to start me on all sorts of drugs. It turned out that my socks were a bit too tight. Another incident was when I had a horrible allergic reaction to something and got what looked like 2nd degree burns in certain areas of my body. Again, they wanted to load me up with drugs. They couldn't figure it out. It turned out to be because I let my whites soak in bleach too long and it formed chlorimides... that's the same thing that burns your eyes in a poorly maintained swimming pool and it'll burn the hell out of your skin if left in contact for a long time like when you wear white underwear.
Such mistakes also caused the death of my Father. He was misdiagnosed as having a bout with pneumonia. It turn out to be cancer and it got to stage 4 before they finally decided to do a biopsy. Some drugs did prolong his life for several months (Zalkorie took a 6CM tumor down to nothing in less than a week) and he was doing really well but then he caught an infection in the hospital and that killed him.
If you can't trust the human experts, what makes anyone think they can build a machine to do better? Hell... I can't even find a decent DBA that knows how to get the current date and time. 🙁
