Sometimes a relationship is bad. If you think someone’s a hypochondriac, but in fact they’re unusually sensitive, you’ll dismiss a lot of what they say and that can be quite damaging over time. (Especially if they’re female https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/women-and-pain-dispariti...).

I wouldn’t eliminate GPs from the process, but many people actually would like to hear what the robots have to say about their medical conditions. Having second opinions of this sort available might lead to better patient outcomes.
