a good human doctor is going to notice things other that just what you are telling them and showing them

theyre also going to tell you things other than just what your insurance is agreeing to.

a robo doctor will be corrupt in ways that a regular doctor can be held accountable, but without the individual accountability

Good luck to you if the prompt is written by health insurance.

Emotional support. Some human doctors absolutely radiate confidence and a kind of "you're gonna be okay" attitude. For me, this helps a lot. I'm not sure a machine can do this.

But I hate if the human doctor "radiates confidence" when I know he is not doing the proper scan, because I have to get back with worse symptoms first for him to take it serious. I don't need emotional support from a human doctor. I need the adequate scans and a proper analysis. I am pretty sure that a competent human will be still way better than AI, but AI even now will likely be better than a doctor not really paying attention.

You can hopefully get emotional support from your loved ones. If not a coach seems much more appropriate.
