Analytical AI is much more useful than generative AI and even if it were LLMs doing the work, with a doctor checking it can be very beneficial

    And if they do misdiagnose one in five patients, well, they shouldn't have gotten infected, it's their fault.

    AI can be a force multiplier for doctors. The catch is it needs to be doctor led. It's quite trivial for a doctor to dismiss the obvious hallucinations. If it also points them towards more subtle signs they would potentially miss, then that's a net win.
