hurrah for insulinoma diagnosis:)

I think that even rare disease diagnosis can be done better by algorithms by using Isabel healthcare's diagnostic system[1] or Watson(in the future).

The place where a human will contribute the most is the interpersonal stuff:motivating people, digging data from people(although computers compete there[2]) and administering placebo.

And of course doing the physical stuff.

But that seems very different from the job of a doctor and closer to the job of a nurse.
