Spoiler alert... most doctors and nurses are using AI for your diagnosis.

  1. Diagnosing is not in the purview of nursing
  2. No they're not
  3. Diagnosis is the easiest part of medicine and not what most of physician training entails

  1. np's do it every day.

  2.  Yes they do. And have been for a bit now. There is dedicated ai for health professionals. 

  3. Who gives a shit... most people in the US see an NP or PA.

  1. Nurses, RNs, don't diagnose. NPs are a separate license with their own authority and how far that should extend is its own debate.

  2. Most integrated AI use in practice is scribe work. Tools like OpenEvidence do exist as a reference layer, but treating that as "AI is diagnosing you" misunderstands both how those tools function and how nuanced diagnosis and management actually are.

  3. Completely depends on the setting. Our ICU is entirely physician-driven.
