Wise doctor or "prompt" doctor

Predicting the future of medicine is challenging due to rapid changes and uncertainties. Thomas Lüscher discusses how AI and machine learning will transform cardiology, emphasizing that the future doctor will differ significantly from traditional models. The relationship between doctor and patient is evolving, requiring trust and informed dialogue. Patients now have access to information, which can lead to misunderstandings about medical knowledge. Doctors must navigate this landscape, ensuring they provide informed opinions while respecting patient autonomy. The role of AI in medicine is growing, but it should complement, not replace, the physician's expertise. Future medical education must focus on effective interaction with AI, fostering critical questioning and discernment in both doctors and patients.
