Is this any worse than Google? Seems like the same business model.

Does Google have your medical records? It doesn't have mine.

People email about their medical issues and google for medical help using Gmail/Google Search. So yes, Google has people's medical records.

This is absolutely going to kill people. In a country that had even a modicum of regulation around providing healthcare this would be illegal.

It's also absolutely going to save people. The question is what the acceptable (and the actual) ratio is.

The Sacklers said the same about OxyContin.

GP sessions being around 20 minutes is pretty standard in North American and European countries. You can't have standard hour-long GP sessions, as it'd become impossible to make a timely appointment, no matter which system.

Ever wonder why famous people and celbrities always seem so healthy? They have unfettered access to well paid doctors. People with lots of money can spend literal days with GPs, constantly trying and testing things based on feedback loops with the same doctor at the same time. When people are forced to have a consultation, diagnosis, and treatment in 20 minutes, things are rushed and missed. Amazing things happen whe…

Ever wonder why famous people and celebrities seem so unhealthy with mental health and substance abuse conditions? I'm all for improving affordable access to healthcare but most people wouldn't benefit from spending more time with doctors. It's a waste of scarce resources catering to the "worried well".

While some people are impacted by rare or complex medical conditions that isn't the norm. The health and wellness issues that most consumers have aren't even best handled by physicians in the first place. Instead they could get better results at lower cost from nutritionists, personal trainers, therapists, and social workers.

This thread reads like an advertisement for ChatGPT Health. I came to share a blog post I just posted titled: "ChatGPT Health is a Marketplace, Guess Who is the Product?" OpenAI is building ChatGPT Health as a healthcare marketplace where providers and insurers can reach users with detailed health profiles, powered by a partner whose primary clients are insurance companies. Despite the privacy reassurances, your heal…

Great write up. I'd even double down on this statement: "You can opt in to chat history privacy". This is really "You can opt in to chat history privacy on a chat-by-chat basis, and there is no way to set a default opt-out for new chats".

Legally speaking, why should the rules for important services be different than unimportant services. The price paid for the services is proportional to its value, if there are no consequences for a bug in your code, it was worth less and you should have paid less for it, the refund would be commesurate. It's worth noting that you framed the discussion in terms of refunds, so any extra human life uncalculable value i…

Malpractice is deliberate harm by not following standard professional practices or doing deliberate harm. I’m not talking about that. What I’m talking about is fucking simple. A doctor gives you advice and you pay him thousands for it. That advice is completely fucking wrong. In what universe does that payment make sense? In what universe is giving wrong information deserving of thousands of dollars of payment for se…

You're generally paying for time and materials, not results. This is common practice in many industries, not just healthcare, so your rhetorical question is silly and displays deep ignorance about how the system works. If you want to pay for results only then you're free to negotiate a cash payment contract with your healthcare providers on that basis. No one is stopping you from doing that so let's not have any lame responses claiming that the system is conspiring against you or something.

This. It’s the same play with their browser. They are building the most comprehensive data profile on their users and people are paying them to do it.

Since when is Google the model to emulate?
