My whole family are doctors and If you have ever worked in the medical profession, the amount of human medical document related errors you see is far, far greater than AI scribes..AI scribes are a revolution in note taking.. so get off your druthers.. we live in a real world that optimizes.. and we are stuck in bad doc handwriting, old docs and faxes for pete sake.. and Epic electronic systems with empty text fields becuase of the headaches in taking proper medical notes

I can say for a fact that reliable medical transcrption and dictation is worth handling hallicinations..

its an order of magnitude worse in real life.. or else its just ommitted info since most docs and nurses dont have time for details..

By all means lets be accurate but we must remember all these complex workflows are filled with human error..



This reads to me like “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”


The person in question obviously did not handle the hallucinations, though, did they?
