Terrible programmers, psychologists, friends, designers, musicians, poets, copywriters, mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, etc too.
Though to be fair, doctors generally make terrible doctors too.
but you can hold them accountable (how can you hold an LLM accountable?)
Also bad lawyers. And lawyers also make terrible lawyers to be fair.
Doctors are a product of their training. The issue is that doctors are trained like humans are cars and they have tools to fix the cars.
Human problems are complex and the medecine field is slowly catching up, especially medecine targetted toward women, which was pretty lacking.

This was my thought. The weird inconsistent diagnoses, and sending people to the emergency room for nothing, while another day dismissing serious things has been exactly my experience with doctors over and over again.
You need doctors and a Chatbot, and lots of luck.
