ChatGPT will CHANGE MEDICINE FOREVER! Here is how

Chat GPT and Its Impact on Medicine

In this video, the speaker discusses the potential impact of Chat GPT on medicine. The speaker talks about how it can change medical practice in terms of writing and reading medical notes, as well as how it can affect who goes into medicine.

Writing Medical Notes

• Chat GPT can help with templating patient notes by pulling structured data into a template.

• It may be able to help formulate treatment plans based on imaging and laboratory results.

• Chat GPT can turn lengthy patient charts into a two-page summary that is up-to-date and links to relevant information.

Reading Medical Notes

• Patient charts will have a two-page Wikipedia-style summary that anyone can edit or modify.

• The summary will include key studies, current patient status, and links to imaging and pathology reports.

• All doctors will read the same summary regardless of their specialty.

Impact on Medicine

• Chat GPT has the potential to change who goes into medicine by automating certain tasks.

• It could also lead to more personalized care for patients by analyzing large amounts of data.

Introduction

In this section, the speaker discusses the current model of note-taking and billing in medical practice and introduces the concept of medical scribes.

The Current Model of Note-Taking and Billing

• The speaker questions whether the current model where notes are synonymous with billing makes sense.

• The speaker suggests that medical scribes may no longer be necessary in the future.

Research

In this section, the speaker talks about research in medicine and how technology is changing it.

Challenges in Research

• It takes a lot of time and effort to draft ideas for research and get them into a publishable format.

• Having good, novel, clever, or interesting ideas is crucial for writing academic journals.

Limitations of Chat GPT

• Chat GPT synthesizes available arguments on the internet but does not demonstrate novelty or push boundaries.

• Formulating novel ideas will be the final hurdle that technology cannot overcome.

Impact on Research Groups

• Groups that primarily do replicative work will be driven to extinction.

• Primary teams with new ideas will generate more manuscripts per annum.

• Reviewers may no longer be human; software may review and collate information instead.

• Editors will make calls without an onerous peer review system.

Medical Practice

In this section, the speaker discusses cultural trends in medical practice and how they are coming together with technology.

Cultural Trends in Medical Practice

• There is movement against providing numerical scores to judge someone's intellect (e.g., grades or step one scores).

• Chat GPT is getting better at solving cases.

Impact on Medical Practice

• Technology can solve cases as well as humans can.

• Numerical scores may become less important in evaluating physicians.

The Impact of Chat GPT on Medical Training and Selection

In this section, the speaker discusses how chat GPT is going to impact medical training and selection.

The Three Pillars of Being a Great Physician

• To be a great physician, one needs to speak compassionately and empathetically.

• One needs to be good at physical skills, especially in surgery.

• One needs to make good medical decisions.

The Impact of Chat GPT on Medical Decisions

• Chat GPT is going to remove the key challenge in medicine which is making sound decisions.

• A randomized controlled trial will show an overall survival benefit if you just blindly adhere to chat GP tier Ergo you're going to be wrong to deviate that's going to be the implication of that study and it's going.

Analytical Thinking in Medicine

• Analytical thinking has been removed as a prerequisite for medicine.

• This coupled with a cultural movement that says we don't want grades and we don't want test scores will flood medicine with more mediocre physicians.

Implications for Medicine Going Forward

• Only the most clever doctors will be able to consistently beat chat GPT.

• It's not up to me to give a normative conclusion as to what it will mean it's up to you to think more about what it will be that uh really you could pick medical students at random more or less you could have a modified Lottery and really pick them at random and you won't be requiring them

to be the smartest people uh in terms of analytical thinking there are other types of smart sure um uh that that's going

to create a lot of implications for what does it mean to be a doctor going forward all right this is these are my two broad categories of thinking around chat GPT I think it is quite transformative I think it is going

to fundamentally change many things in in life in society and I'm a skeptic okay I was a skeptic before I played around with it a little bit more uh I don't think it's going to change the part of the world that I'm most interested in that's the other thing the part of the world I'm most interesting in are people who can really have original thoughts who can think about things in clever and new ways and I've not seen any hint of it doing that what I have seen is that it can do things that you typically tell someone else to do in a highly competent manner.

The Role of Chat GPT

• Chat GPT will be used as an assistant, editor, peer reviewer, and document summarizer.

• It will be exploited for labor work above average but not superb.

• It will fundamentally change who goes into medicine.

The Impact of Chat GPT on Medicine

In this section, the speaker discusses the impact of Chat GPT on medicine and how it will change various aspects of the field.

Chat GPT's Advancements in Medicine

• Moving to other countries to ban or slow down Chat GPT would give China a competitive advantage.

• Chat GPT will dramatically change many aspects of medicine, from 3.5 to 4 advancements.

• Vinay Prasad's post about what Chat GPT will do for medicine provides further insights into its potential impact.

Conclusion

• The speaker concludes that time will tell how much of an impact Chat GPT will have on medicine, but it is clear that it has come a long way and has the potential to revolutionize the field.
