If you prefer an LLM to a human doctor, you deserve an LLM instead of a human doctor, and I wish you get it.
replyFree markets and all that right?
replyOk fellas put your money where your mouth is. It’s easy to talk until you put your money behind it (or lack of by getting rid of spending on it) if you are so confident in doctor as a service by llm.

replyI’ve been using llm as my personal pcp for 3 years now. I’m extremely pleased with the results.
replyBecause paying hundreds of dollars for one minute of face time is so great
replyI would use one for sure. Much of medicine is getting tests / labs booked fighting to get certain medicines. Doctors will barely give you 5 minutes only deal with one issue per visit, rarely are available and going into an office can make you sicker. An llm with Doctor powers could offer more. I don't think we are at the surgery point but we are past getting notes and medicine's refilled.
replySo why not order your own labs? I'm sure you can think of ways to get your own medications if you are sufficiently convinced that this is the best course of action for your health.
replyBecause you can't order many of your own labs, and then insurance won't pay for them.
reply> you can't order many of your own labs
replyReally? Which ones?
> insurance won't pay for them
