>the value potential of this approach in this field

As a medical school dropout, I think the largest "negative" in value assessment would be the inability to shift malpractice liability over to a human practitioner (i.e. can you insure a company's faulty AI/LLM?) — yet today I just read a HN article on insurers offering a new product: insuring chat/LLM fuck-ups.

As exciting as this all is, I'm still so glad I didn't become a radiologist!






For what it's worth, I almost dropped out of medical school in my second year to go back to a career in tech. It was a close thing.

Still, I have enjoyed my time in radiology. It is insanely challenging to do well, and has been very rewarding.


I think I could have been happy with the physician lifestyle, but I knew I wouldn't make good life decisions surviving/getting through residency. I am glad to have survived (e.g. career change).

I've spent two decades as an electrician, and as the story goes: it is what it is... but also what you make of it. An incredible Good Fortune keeps me from having to work full-time, but as I've entered my forties I know I want to get in an air conditioned office (before too long).

Perhaps I'll first move to a country where healthcare isn't tied to full-time employment. Best of luck to you in your Interpretations.
