If you think AI is the answer to healthcare, you probably don’t work in healthcare. Well ok, maybe you work in healthcare but not the part where our patients are. ‘Diagnosis is easy. Disposition is war.’ Well said @Rick_Pescatore.

I make no apologies for repeating myself: No-one gives a damn until it's your loved one on a trolley. Shock. Shame. Demoralised. Broken. Undignified. 300+ excess deaths a week. And we shrug. Until it's *your* loved one on a trolley. #NHSCollapse
