Artificial Intelligence with Cardiologist Dr. Eric Topol | Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens 

If you take requests, I'd be so jazzed if you got Siobhan "ViolinMD" and her doctor husband on the show!

I have had to have spacers inserted into my la rival glands and I was talking with my ophthalmologist and sent him to your site. He also told me that Glaucomflecken is a syndrome. So I immediately research it when I returned to the office. I love both of your content. As a former nurse, I love your content. btw: two of my crowns have just fallen out of my mouth. I’m now negotiating a price to have the crowns re-seated. Your content keeps me going. Thank you.

So much tooth talk is going to summon the Dentist Mafia

I had the same, where only the gutta-percha was keeping the tooth in, flopping around. Got the extraction, "bone graft," implant. Will start the crown next week -- hope it lasts! Good luck with yours, Lady G.

I agree with just about everything that was said...except for the part about letting the AI say that based on statistics, a person shouldn't be tested for rare diseases. As someone who wasn't diagnosed until in her late forties with a rare genetic disorder that I had also passed onto all four of my children, I say Zebras exist! We walk among you. As it is, most physicians refuse to test for the rare because their patients cannot possibly be the outlier. The AI would be even more prone to set those diagnoses aside as statistical anomalies and not look at them as a real option. If I had known, I could have prevented much physical and mental damage to myself and my children (including the wrongful death of my first grandson because tge OB refused to believe my daughter could possibly have a rare disorder!).

@30 min. Comment about the silo situation with all the specialists, so true. We experienced this also. Seratonin syndrome is one issue that can arise when you don’t have an overseer of all the doctors involved. We have a concierge doctor that helps with this, as well as an excellent pharmacist.

Good show. Good idea about Dr. Topol's story being the source of a skit. You could do various things with a hospital dealing with the press. Maybe what it's like to have a 'famous' or 'important' patient that gets a lot of unusual attention. Also, since your fictional hospital is a teaching hospital, you could have a Researcher character in one or more of the specialties.

Hi, Heart Bro!

Excellent! Thank you. It will be AI goes. I can't wait for the first time I have a history taken by AI. I just get annoyed at answering all the same old questions over and over again. Especially when it is all in the "collective" chart, with all the scans and test results.. and as a male.. stop having to deny I'm pregnant, or planning to be!

This was amazing! Lady Glflkem was epic! Dr. Topol was super informative. I'm honestly scared of AI just because I know I have to adapt to it. You have to either adapt or regress by the effect of tech.

Hope you ask him about the beef with Nephrologists

Somehow the tooth discussion made me think it would be fun if there was a meeting of Mama Doctor Jones (an OBGYN) with The OBGYN (Lady Glaucomflecken)...are there any pregnancy related bones we should know about? (I mean, teeth are basically mini bones).

I'm a harvard student whos been developing an AI based open source EKG reader for the past 5 years.

As a psych PhD student I always wonder what it would be like to see a health psychologist on this show.

Yeah, that's how I feel about Australia 😬

IA is a tool; and obviously using language model to ask questions and retrieve informations from a huge database of medical knowledge would be an incredible tool… as long as the user in front of it is able to discern good and bad replies. But some issues are not technical ones. I might be a bit on the cynical side, but insurance issues and the like does not seem to be related to actual difficulty in understanding medical points and more related to flatly refusing stuff. Fixing that will not happen through a technical breakthrough.

I wonder if poison was used at the hunting lodge. Coumadin poisoning (which is reversible) could be on the burner.

In 2024 the last thing alot of people are going to ever hear right as the general anesthesia kicks in is their surgeon singing the "Dem bones" song because they used ChatGPT for assignments.

It would be best to use a term other than AI. AI is simply a set of instructions coded by a programmer based on processes designed by someone else and virtually impossible to implement without bias beyond basic logic trees. AI is not independent nuanced thought. Realistically in its present form AI is simply a support and organizing function. Insurance companies merely follow checklists in much of their decision making that would translate easily into algorithms, so you are there already. To be fair, if all docs were able, aware, accurate, and without self interest, then the insurance industry wouldn’t have an excuse to over-manage the process. “Truths” are too subjective to trust to anyone or any group, even if you agree with them. To mention Twitter allowing those who misinform to communicate presupposes that only you offer the truth. The slippery slope of the omniscient perspective is a much more worrying proposition than the presence of differing beliefs. One of the foundation principles of AI is diversity of thought leading to the most well-reasoned decision.

There is no perfect crossover, they said…

Does this mean Jonathan is an AI? 😂

Blue pill, please.

Teeth…..Those guys need tender love and care 🫶🏼 Make sure you floss and use your waterpicks everyone!

Guys imagine your a kid and like your parents look like this and they r both doctors. Gen z kids yeah they dance but like look at who they can look up to on this weird thing called the internet.
