It’s easy to think that we’re all knowing. Trust me. At my agency, I know more than any other medic here. Mostly because I work with some real dumb-dumbs, but also because I’m incredibly smart, diligent, and attentive in my studies. I know modern medicine like I know the back of my hand. And my dermatologist always says I know my hands more than any of her other clients ever possibly would, for any reason.
But even I know my limits as a human being.
AI is here. And it’s here to stay. It brings infinite knowledge, incredible processing power, and the ability to access case studies and information on the fly where it takes me sometimes days to read a single article. And it’s okay to admit that AI is better than us.
I’ve gone so far as to using AI on scene. I log in to my personal account on the company phone and use that to search for any information I might need.
Above is an example from a call I ran yesterday. Because of AI’s quick thinking, I was able to save this person’s life and most of their limbs. They’ll be able to go to live a normal life, after they’re off the ventilator.
I’ve used AI for all sorts of reasons and calls. Cardiac arrests, child deliveries, and even STEMIs. Confused over a heart rhythm? Just upload it to ChatGPT! It’ll tell you. Because who can remember what ST elevation even looks like?
If you haven’t begun incorporating AI into your daily care, I suggest you do so. Before the rising tide of technology leaves you far behind.
