A doctor (internist in primary care) friend told me once how he was glad he wasn't a heart surgeon (of some specialty that I don't recall). He said that surgeon in that specialty simply does one type of surgery all the time, as ordered by some other doctors. As far as he could tell, that surgeon did not have to do much mental work, but was rather like a technician.
I wonder when work of doctor (diagnosing a disease) will be handled by a computer. I'd say in 100 years?
We can do diagnosis now. All that is needed is a medical nurse to take symptoms and run them through Watson to get a diagnosis. The idea is that people in poor/remote regions could do this whole process themselves, with the help of a mobile phone and some medical sensors. There are already regions where it would be more beneficial to run with the current medial AI rather than leave things as they are.
