Healthcare language adversarial

Putrino Lab

Why is such adversarial language still *so common* in medicine?

Patient #1: I have pain
Medical note #1: Patient COMPLAINS OF pain

Patient #2: I don’t have pain
Medical note #2: Patient DENIES pain

And because we’re documenting it, we’re teaching it to our medical AIs as well.

As someone who has spent easily half a decade staring at AI arXiv each week and trying to articulate rate of progress, I still don’t think people understand how rapidly the field is advancing. Benchmarks are becoming saturated at ever increasing rates.
