Is it so necessary in medicine for such a figure as a doctor?

EMD reform of Ukraine - a group of like-minded people to discuss the substance of the reform.

Sorry for bad english - translated using Google-Translate.

Over the last decade, IT technology has not only taken a big step forward, but in some industries even a jump from a pager to 5G. Thanks to that, mankind was on the brink of creating artificial intelligence that would personify the life experience of all mankind for all its years of existence, and not only. Artificial intelligence will be able to simulate in a fraction of a second the situations that could arise in the event of a decision. And of course this piece of art can not escape medicine. Already in the near future we will observe the creation of special programs for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases without the participation of a health worker.

Due to the specifics of the Ukrainian legislation in the field of medicine, in Ukrainian pharmacies it is possible to buy any drugs, except narcotic drugs and precursors, without prescription. How many times have we seen with a pharmacy such a picture when a person, telling the symptoms of the disease, received the drug at the discretion of the pharmacist. To my remark that the treatment is prescribed by the doctor after diagnosis in the clinic, around the corner, 99% of the pill buyers were offended, and in one voice said that the pharmacist is also a health worker and he should know what medications are from...

In addition, while in the chronically ill patients, on the remark that it is better to treat a family doctor and have a long-term treatment plan, and not in a day to get quick with the question "whip up anything ...", waving with a hand, I was constantly told that in the clinic there is no one to trust and there are no good doctors. And so you can continue indefinitely.

What do I tell you all about? And to the fact that for the past 20-30 years in Ukraine, the respect and trust in such a layer of intellectuals as doctors has been eliminated.

Consequently, whether deliberately, whether by ignorance, or perhaps because of the lack of money in the state budget, the specialty is deliberately destroyed as a doctor. In any society, respect and prestige is formed, among other things, in particular the level of income earned by a person. If the doctor's salary is lower than that of a janitor, this is the ratio (doctor's) to him, although the profession of janitor is also important. Well, do not want smart people to go to medicine with such salary, and probably that they will never come.

I will not tell that the specialty "Doctor" needs constant self-improvement and training, and this, of course, is a very expensive pleasure. And as a result, we have what we have...

That language is not about that now. Let's go back to the beginning of the article where it was about IT, 5G and artificial intelligence. The fact is that artificial intelligence will in a fraction of a second be able to overcome all possible variants of illnesses where your symptoms are met and with a credibility far more than the average person to establish the exact diagnosis, and possibly several, to appoint treatment and to write an electronic recipe that you can get Medicines in any pharmacy automatically. And with the development of robotics, even complex operations in the future are possible without the participation of a person. Everything seems to be fine and quite possible. But not everything is so simple.

In order to understand the symptoms and correctly enter them into the car, you need a lot of experience in medicine. In addition, there are various pain thresholds and interpretations of the same symtoms in different people with different levels of intelligence and mental state. Therefore, it is quite obvious that there is a future medical medicine without a doctor.

A major warning about the dominance of artificial intelligence has been the recent announcement in news that one of the world's most famous taxi services is stopping the introduction of an autopilot cab (car taxi ride without a driver), because this autopilot vehicle became a member of the road accident. a ride on a cyclist who died on the way to the hospital.

Doctor - a person who uses his skills, knowledge and experience in the prevention and treatment of diseases, maintenance of normal life of the human body. And you do not argue with that.

So why in Ukraine, in all disputes around the medical reform, the physician's figure turned into a ghost somehow. Why in the media, almost all the reports are full of negatives, and almost all of this does not mean that it is the physician who needs to create the right conditions for him to be able to treat and continue to live in people. Why are the phrases constantly heard like "you do not let everything get mastered and steal", or even from the most expensive. the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that all physicians are bribe-takers.

From here we have reached the essence of what is happening in Ukraine in the medical sector. Doctors have a specialist certificate and can work as doctors on the basis of it. In order to heal a patient for money, which will not curse the soul pay everyone, he must obtain a corresponding license from the Ministry of Health and to become a FOP. Why not allow medical practice without a special license and registration by the FOP. In the new conditions of the existence of medical institutions as non-profit enterprises it becomes possible to receive payment for certain medical services directly to the hospital account. Why not allow doctors what is allowed in the world of the world - to work freely.

As a result, the hospital will receive prestige and facilities for development, and doctors will be able to receive profits that will not be limited by tariff wires, etc. restrictions. The best doctors will surely be in demand in the patients and as a result will receive more.

Consequently, "Doctor" - should become a central figure in all conversations about medicine. Automatically from "bribe" physicians will become respectable people with a prestigious specialty, such as today, for example, lawyers.

And the question of the doctors on a quick withdrawal by itself, when the EMD department will be created with the necessary equipment. Because the availability of modern medical equipment is the reason why physicians will become unnecessary soon. Because if we remember the history of the introduction of physicians in the EMD brigade, then the very absence of these EMD departments and equipment has become the reason for the physicians to be moved from hospital to home to patients. It turned out to be much cheaper.
