You went from software to medicine? Pretty cool to discover I'm not alone in this world.

> LLMs can be a useful second opinion for a highly educated patient with good insight into their health and body

I have the same opinion. It's just like software in this regard. A person who's already knowledgeable can prompt well and give detailed context, and tell when the LLM is confidently bullshitting or just plain being lazy. That is not the reality of the average person.

I tried using Claude to help with some hard cases a couple of times and it was very prone to jumping to conclusions based on incomplete information. It was excellent as a research buddy though. I'm using it to great effect to keep myself up to date.
