This is great. It removes a big time waste of appointments and procedures for things that you know you need.

I have for example had tonsilitis 5+ times, and a lot of common colds/flus/etc. I know how my body reacts and how it feels when I have one or the other.

Yet, I have to be screened by nurses, sent around, given weak antibiotics, and in general wasting a lot of time when I could just convince a model to give me the prescription.

I have a friend with acne who has the same issues with tretinoin prescriptions. Endless appointments and time waste.

Step in the right direction

There's other solutions that can also be explored.

Where I am in BC, Canada, pharmacists can prescribe specific medications for certain pre-approved conditions, and there is also the concept of an "emergency" refill for if you lose your medication or are unable to get an appointment in time, a few days of a previously prescribed medication can be provided.

At the end of the day, a better solution is to have tiers of prescription meds. Not everything needs to be gate-kept by MDs. If an AI can prescribe it, there is no reason a nurse, pharmacist or other medical professional shouldn't be able to as well.

But there are. Costs and wait times go down. Can be handled like a drive-through. No mis-diagnoses due to fatigue, etc.

Why haven't they yanked those suckers out? My brother got his tonsils out out after infection number 2.

		There was an assessment for this and deemed not worth the risk because of the size of the connective tissues/blood supply and closeness to major blood vessels.

		Because as an adult the operation is genuinely full of risk. Think about the anatomy of your neck and how close your tonsils are to your major blood vessels. Sometimes doctors make choices that reflect a landscape of risk the patient is no more prepared to understand than the doctor is ready to run a network test. People who say they “know they need something” are often confidently wrong.

I agree, this is great.

I have for example hypersensitivity to radio waves. I know how my body reacts and how it feels when I'm exposed to such radiation, especially during vaxxine toxicity flareups.

Yet, I have to be screened by nurses, go through appointments with psychologists, and in general wasting a lot of time when I could just convince a model to prescribe the radium water I need.

Step in the right direction.

It would be also be great if people with libedo issues could then get a medical prescription for porn, which if I know my AI, and I dont, could be accomodated instantly during the 'examination'
