I'm curious whether this AI model would have been able to detect my issue more competently than the shitty doctor.

I guess the reasoning is that they want to provide „good service“ by giving the patient something to work with directly after the exam and the workload is so high that they couldn’t look at the images so fast. And they accept the risk that some people are getting angry because their exam wasn’t normal in the end.
But on the scale a typical radiology practice operates today, the few patients who don’t have a normal exam don’t matter (the number of normal exams in an outpatient setting is quite high).
I find it highly unethical, but some radiologists are a little bit more ethically relaxed I guess.
What I want to say is that it might be more of a structural/organisational problem than incompetence by the radiologist in your case.
(Disclaimer: I’m a radiologist myself)
Surely your results went to a requesting physician who should have been following up with you? Radiology doctors don’t usually organise follow up care.
Or was the inaccurate result from the requesting physician?
