> Are chatbots going to replace empathic doctors?
> Have they already?
> Is empathy being squeezed out by computer billing/documentation programs due to time crunches?

The @StarTrek universe discusses this in its canon - with some comments/conclusions that the computer doctor can hold a scalpel but not actually care about the patient.
This is later shown to be untrue (at least in their fiction).

Reminds me of a question I have asked medical students in our ethics course about the @StarTrek Discovery Emergency Medical Hologram: "Why did the show creators make this AI doctor in human form?"
(played wonderfully by the super talented @RobertPicardo)

Please review our guide led by @DrMikeDolinger to intestinal ultrasound billing, and other nuts and bolts to getting IUS integrated into practice in the U.S. @IBDMD
Helping bring IUS to all IBD patients means navigating credentialing, billing and documentation for GIs. We cover this and more for USA IBD centers @AmJGastro. Thanks to @IBDMD @KrugCleveland and #MarlaDubinsky for making this critical work happen.
