🧵1/ Our new study on AI and physician reasoning just came out in @ScienceMagazine. As co-senior author, I'm excited about our findings, and I do think AI will reshape medicine. But after seeing some of the discussions, I'm also worried about how our findings may be misinterpreted.

The U.S. healthcare system is basically a Frankenstein of public programs + private insurance + government rules all stitched together 🧵 And somehow…we pay the MOST in the world for it. Cool cool cool.

Physicians subsidize the healthcare innovation economy every day. Your labor validates products. Your workflows absorb bad software. Your outcomes de-risk business models. Your credibility opens doors. And when value is created, it accrues somewhere else.
