they will still need humans to perform physical exams, tho they will likely be guided/instructed by AIs and performed by lesser trained doctors or nurses

There is no such thing as a Diagnostic Medicine. Doctors specialize in specific ailments, not all of them. Master of all, expert in none.

Also, the speed and amount of tests they do on patients is unrealistic. Insurance companies would not sign off on 90% of the tests he requests.

try googling "daily life of a doctor" and see how similar it is to the tv show

>>8309333
The show at least had the presence to answer both these points, or at least try to.

Their explanation for the first one worked better than the explanation for the second one.

>>8309333

They literally explained all that in the show.

You mean like having a team of the most competent M.Ds in the country with the best doctors in the world, in a top fucking hospital struggle for days to diagnose fabry disease?
No, real life doctors are more competent.

House is a genius in the show, his encyclopedic knowledge of diseases and viruses lets him get away with whatever the fuck he wants.

real life doctors are just glorified nurses
prove me wrong

A combination of fraud, Cuddy deliberately bargaining with the insurance companies to get there way, the hospital having to fight tooth and nail over each charge, and the hospital ending up covering a lot of it. Mostly the first one though.
