Never trust the experts. Something else that’s lovely to know is that because of how easy it is to cheat using AI and all these days doctors are only gonna become even MORE incompetent in time, deepening a problem that’s already been disturbingly prevalent for decades. We’d better hope to not get sick in the future!

Are you under the impression that med students 1. Only have written tests that would even be possible use AI on 2. Don’t go through residency (like apprenticeship) 3 That you or someone else is more knowledgeable about human health

What I’m saying is a large portion of doctors today are incompetent, and ignore patients complaining and complaining about stuff they know is wrong but are gaslighted into believing it’s something trivial. Not all of them, but enough so that situations like the one described in this post happen enough to the point where it’s scary. Add the fact that it’s never been easier to cheat in school then now, and we’ve got a scary future ahead of us. The level of incompetency is increasing everywhere.

Look you saying that maybe incompetency is increasing is valid for some areas- med school acceptance just isn’t one of them. Acceptance has gotten significantly MORE rigorous not less. And this story, which is really sad and fucked up if true, is purely anecdotal; there’s no industry wide data here, no trend, just a moving story. I say that to say it’s certainly possibly that fear mongering around a real issue is making it seem to be larger or growing when that might not be the case

doesn’t change the fact that doctors are incompetent and negligent these days, and this isn’t just an anecdote, there are so many stories like this where people are literally going on TIKTOK for medical advice
