For me there are a few main takeaways on how AI _could_ supersede the average ER doctor.
The first is that a technical solution can be trained on _ALL_ medical data and have access to it all in the moment. It is difficult to assume a doctor could also achieve this.
The second is that for medical cases understanding the sum of all symptoms and the patients vitals would lead to an accurate diagnosis a majority of the time. AI/ML is entirely about pattern recognition, when you combine this with point one, you end up with a system that can quickly diagnose a large portion of patients in extremely short timeframes.
On a different note, I think we can leave the ad-hominem attacks at home please.
