I know a cardiologist who founded a training & knowledge base startup for doctors. He once told me (that was before LLMs), that it’s super common to tell a patient that the doc needs to look up sthg in their patient history, to then instead google the symptoms. Or, even more often, quickly text a colleague.

I have no way of knowing if this is true. But I‘d rather had a complete, guided prompt be the basis of a diagnosis, than a 2m google search.

This is still common and useful to gut check and make sure you aren't missing something. Source: wife is a doctor.
