This feels like a compelling reason to joke around more.

If inaccuracies make it to your patient record, it's defamatory. Your doctor must sign off on the transcript and if they're letting through poor results, make it their problem to fix. That'll either force the tech to get better or to fall back on better note taking practices.

Be warned though that life and disability insurance will absolutely use errors in your medical records to refuse your coverage or claims.

How do we make those markets more competitive?

And that's what makes it actionable defamation. If your doctor signs off on an AI summary that accuses you of being an drug dependant sex worker, that's serious malpractice.

Yeah my parents thought it was funny and I was like... yeah not actually. You need to get that fixed.

Might be immature but personally once I knew this was possible I'd go for the high score. Try to get every substance I can think of listed plus a supposed admission of murder and whatever other ridiculous stuff I can come up with.

"Well you know me doc, I keep my drugs in the deep freezer with the bodies waiting for disposal so I'm quite confident in their shelf life." I wonder what an AI scribe would make of such a remark.

Initially nothing, but then two weeks later you'll start getting more push ads for high end chest freezers.

Your username is uncanny for this comment. Well played.

Only if you enjoy lawsuits, though.
