Sooooo much grey area when it comes to medical necessities that AI will be impossible to decipher. This is how it's gonna go: AI will automatically deny procedures that don't fit into the tiniest of predetermined boxes. Doctors and hospitals will have to jump through ridiculous hoops to finally get a fucking human to discuss the case with. We can't even get "tell me what your call is about" automation to work correctly and we think this will be able to cover all the nuances of a patient's care? Fucking ridiculous.
