I’ve seen this trope posted by a lot of doctors in the last 24 hours. The claim from doctors is that Midjourney’s cheap full body scanner is bad, because people would get treated unnecessarily for harmless conditions, and that would increase death rates. Now, I have a lot of skepticism about Midjourney’s announcement (a lot of skepticism) but I think that the doctors are failing to look in the mirror. What they are saying is, in effect, that they cannot be trusted with having more information about patients. That, if you give doctors too much information about a patient’s condition, they may kill the patient by treating them unnecessarily. This isn’t a problem with inexpensive full body scanners. This is a problem with doctors and medical practices.

Same issue w full body MRI.. indiscriminate screening of healthy people causes harm Making the scan quicker and cheaper… likely will increase the scale of the harm. @CanesDavid @afshineemrani @grok explain harms in screening a population w low pretest probability for disease
