  • I take your point. The version I heard of that joke is “the person who graduated at the bottom of their class in med school”.

    Still, at the moment we can try to avoid those doctors. I’m concerned about the popularizing and replication of bad advice beyond that.

    The problem here is this tool is being marketed to GPs, not patients, so you wouldn’t necessarily know where the opinion is coming from.




  • It would have to be the fail rate of an average doctor, because if average doctors are the use case then moving the bar to fail rate of a bad doctor doesn’t make any sense. You would end up saying worse outcomes = better.

    I think the missing piece here is accountability.

    If doctors are being encouraged to give harmful out-of-date advice, who will end up with a class action lawsuit on their hands - doctors or OE?
