Sorry, not what i'm looking for in a medical infosource.
We only subscribe to the best medical sources here, WebMD.
At the practice I used to use, there was a PA that would work with me. He'd give me the actual medical terms for stuff he was telling me he was worried about and between that session and the next I'd look them up, read all I could about them. Occasionally I'd find something he would peg as X and I'd find Y looked like a better match. I'd talk to him, he'd disappear for a moment and come back we'd talk about X and Y and sometimes I was right.
"Google's not bad, I use it sometimes, we have access to stuff you don't have access to, but sometimes that stuff is outdated. With Google you need to have the education to know what when an article is genuine or likely and when an article is just a drug company trying to make money"
Dude was pretty cool
Sorry, I should have clarified: they'd revert your change quickly, and your account would be banned after a few additional infractions. You think AI would be better?
I think a medical journal or publication with integrity would be better.
I think one of the private pay only medical databases would be better.
I think a medical textbook would be better.
Wikipedia is fine for doing a book report in high school, but it's not a stable source of truth you should be trusting with lives. You put in a team of paid medical professionals curating it, we can talk.
Well then we def agree. I still think Wikipedia > LLMs though. Human supervision and all that
