I have to wait over a month to see a registered dietitian to _hopefully_ deal with SIBO. This is not unusual for healthcare.

Refusing to automate the "human" parts of healthcare will do nothing but kill people due to delayed or expensive care. Imagine a world where everyone had a doctor with all current medical knowledge available 24/7!

That's a failing of your country's healthcare system, not an argument for automation. Getting to talk to a chatbot or whatever you have in mind is not a substitute for a real person, and will just introduce a norm of impersonal stereotyped healthcare if people are ignorant enough to believe it's a suitable substitute for getting seen by a real person.

Yeah I already know I live in the USA.

However: seeing an "AI" (you think this will end with chatbots?) >>>>>>>>>> not seeing a real person
