How AI Can Find a Way Around Pathologist Shortage | NVIDIA Blog

It goes without saying that we do not want to be competing against Nvidia and other big tech heavyweights for our steadily declining profit margins. Unfortunately Big Corrupt Academia has forged a myth about an impending shortage of pathologists which is a DIRECT CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR THEM TO BE RESEARCHING!

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE BIG CORRUPT ACADEMIAS DISCLAIMER IS ON THEIR SHORTAGE ARTICLES?

Any real scientists failing to disclose such a conflict of interest ranging from 6-7 figures of government handouts annually (plus indentured servitude) would be humiliated and decertified!!
 
Did you even read past the headline? The tech in the article is specifically directed at addressing a worldwide pathologist shortage.

The dearth of pathologists is crucial problem in the poorest countries, where patients lacking a proper diagnosis are often given inappropriate treatments, according to studies published this month in The Lancet medical journal. In sub-Saharan Africa, for example, there is a single pathologist for every million people, the journal reported.

But the problem isn’t confined to poor countries. In China, there’s one pathologist for every 130,000 people, The Lancet reported. That compares with 5.7 per 100,000 people in the U.S., according to the most recent figures available. And in the U.S., studies predict the number of pathologists will shrink to 3.7 per 100,000 people by 2030.

In India, that’s now 1 pathologist per 65,000 people — a total of 20,000 pathologists available to treat the nation of 1.3 billion people, said Tathagato Rai Dastidar, co-founder and chief technology officer of Bangalore-based SigTuple.

“There is a human cost here. In many places, where there is no pathologist, a half-trained technician will write out a report and cases will go undetected until it’s too late,” Dastidar said.

Did you read the article? It throws out some ridiculously low number in the US!

It says we will be going from over 5 pathologists per 100K to 3.7 per 100k. I currently work in an area where we have less than about 2.5 pathologists per 100k and we could all use some more work!

Big Academia is a fraud. They fail to mention their enormous conflicts of interest. The CAP and its inspection/proficiency testing mafia like business should also be outlawed. The ABP has ZERO evidence behind its patient value destroying clownshow.

FPN! BCAP!! DABP!!!
