Doctors Told Him He Was Going to Die. Then A.I. Saved His Life

Back when I used to visit doctors that was their biggest concern they brought up with me <i>knowing I was in tech</i>. My opinion for them was that AI was not the threat but rather not staying current in medicine, biology, chemistry is what would get them. It&#x27;s one of their first lessons they are taught in medical school, that once they graduate more than half of what they learned will be no longer applicable or incorrect. I&#x27;ve only met a few doctors that took that lesson to heart and did not incorrectly interpret it as a disclaimer. There is also a decent doctor on Youtube that embraced this concept <i>Dr. Roger Seheult, MD</i> on MedCram. He was way ahead of and on top of Covid long before any of the other doctors as can be seen in their channels history. Such doctors are quiet rare.

It wasn&#x27;t AI. The doctor who actually found the cure is basically a House M.D. of rare diseases...His A.I. just searches through known treatments and suggests treatments from similar conditions.<p>Or in other words, what any medical expert in the field should have done...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aamc.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;doctor-saved-his-own-life-now-he-s-mission-save-thousands-more" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aamc.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;doctor-saved-his-own-life-now-he-s...</a>

It&#x27;s very frustrating how the one detail, what AI models these docs are using, is unmentioned, yet every other detail about patients, medications, diseases, and rare disorders are. I understand they&#x27;re under development. But why can&#x27;t you tell me what they&#x27;re calling them??

Because AI cannot invent cures or therapies this just means that AI searched medical records and&#x2F;or documents and likely found a treatment a real doctor innovated. This is more analagous to a search engine than &quot;True AI&quot; saving hsi life. This is like using Google.

nyt should be ashamed. AI did not save this poor fellas life. If anything it shows how stupid his doctors were to tell him he was going to die when it was not true. This is hype and they must be getting paid to write this, right??? It does tactically say &quot;search&quot;, but then at the same time says &quot;not thought of by a doctor&quot; which is pure BS.<p>For real the enhanced autocorrect just cured a rare blood disorder wow! I bet father clippy is proud!!! The idea that the AI is connecting dots that previously did not exist is pure manipulation.
