> We aren't training enough new radiologists, which is a different discussion.

About that, I think the AMA is ultimately going to be a victim of its own success. It achieved its goal of creating a shortage of medical professionals and enriching the existing ones. I don't think any of their careers are in danger.

However, long term, I think magic (in the form of sufficiently advanced technology) is going to become cost effective at the prices that the health care market is operating at. First the medical professionals will become wholly dependent on it, then everyone will ask why we need to pay these people eye-watering sums of money to ask the computers questions when we can do that ourselves, for free.




I agree with you on all points. The only question is how long will it take?
