ER Editor: This great little informative video from Dr. Suneel Dhand is totally worth the 8 minutes of our time.
We’re going to let readers watch for themselves, but here is a critical point about the value of AI according to Dhand — it is great for giving differential diagnoses, i.e. giving likely options when a medical problem is presented to it. And these options can come from specialist medical disciplines where necessary. Can ONE doctor give all that? That is in Dr. Dhand’s opinion from a relative who provided a photo of her skin problem to an AI program. And as he says, this technology is only going to get better, and very rapidly.
‘The system is so bad, how could AI be any worse than that?’
Our two cents is that it will wake up a sleeping population to the value of THEIR OWN INVOLVEMENT in their health. We’ve transferred our autonomy and decision-making to the medical profession, and look where that got us.

Here are two useful comments below this video —

“After the COMPLETE abandonment of ALL ethics and research norms and principles during the pandemic…..I say replace them all. Those in lab coats know what I am talking about and what happened. An utter disgrace.”
From ianfisher6561 —
“I told my doctor that I was feeling very tired and worn-out. He suggested that I’m probably depressed and wanted to prescribe antidepressants. I said “no thanks”. I then consulted with an AI option. It gave me a laundry list of probable causes and also suggested some changes to my life style that may be helpful. Good bye to my doctor.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
