Point of View: It is the year of our lord two thousand and thirty, and your doctor has told you “I do not know brother, that is tough.” Because they used a large language model throughout their college classes.
I used ChatGPT through nursing school. It may not have the clinical judgement of the smartest nurses I've known, but it's nowhere near the retardation of the stupidest ones.
In favor of ChatGPT powered medical professionals:
No Cluster B personality disorders
No Generalized amxiety disorder
Did not come out of medical school dependant on Vyvanse and/or Adderall.
Also another serious question: why the fuck are you trying to demonize an anxiety disorder? In fact while I am here why are you trying to demonize personality disorders caused ultimately by childhood trauma?
I can understand making the argument that someone with NPD doesn't belong in medicine for safety reasons. But anxiety disorders? Really? How is that going to impact their performance? Surely someone with anxiety is more likely to double or triple check things that others would miss.
I know alot of psychiatric and medical professionals in both my personal and professional life.
The majority of them treat others as a way of avoiding tackling their personal issues. Secondly, both work and med school is stressful as hell, and people who can't adequately manage their issues sink not only themselves but also the people around them, or just resort to using substances.
Well managed anxiety can actually be an asset, but 'well managed' seems to be the exception, not the rule.
Now why would someone taking medication for an illness be a bad thing? If the purpose of medicine is to treat illness then surely the doctor taking theirs can only be a good thing, no?
If it's used as a performance enhancer it's not an illness, and its odd how most pharmacies in my area completely sell out of ADHD meds around the time of finals/midterms. And Ive been in a relationship woth an Adderall abuser, its not pretty.
Great job! I should have probably prefaced that the majority of GAD people I know do a shit job of managing it, and many nurses tend to take on other people's problem implicitly to avoid dealing with their own.
