“Physicians, 760,000 or so, all work on a cash basis. That's their accounting model. The hospital systems and the facilities that provide healthcare around the country work on a revenue basis. As long as I have enough revenue coming in, I can win. And then you …”

“I don't think physicians can be overtaken so easily. Not at all, for the imaginable future.”

“There's a study I saw a while ago that compared like an AI based system, AI only physician only and AI plus physician An AI plus physician did worse than AI only. The physician kind of dragged the AI down because they didn't trust it.”

“You could imagine a case where, you know, maybe the top five percent of physicians, you know, you're not going to get better then, right? Maybe not the top 10%. But as you get down that stack, you know, AI's probably going to do a better job, right?”
