Beware telemedicine: 'Amazon One Medical sued after patient prescribed inhaler dies in ER' (5)

28 December, 2024

Technologies have advantages and disadvantages.

1.19 million people are killed on the roads in the world every year and 20 to 50 million injured, many sustaining disabilities.

It is estimated that there are 421 million hospitalisation in the world every year of which 42 1 million suffer adverse events.

One swallow does not make a summer.

I was often pleased to be directed wisely in prescribing by automatic AI.
