Since you seem like you have thought about this a great deal, I am curious as to your reasoning for pursuing medicine as a career in light of the fact that doctors will be among the first to lost their jobs to automation. I've been quite interested in pursuing medicine for a long time but my roommates were all compsci majors last year and while I have no personal interest in computer science, I am a little worried about the role of doctors in the future of medicine.
No reason to worry. If you want to be a doctor, go to medical school. Despite articles like these and alarmist opinions, doctors are going to be around for the foreseeable future. Technology will always change how we practice, but not that we practice.
People have been making futurist predictions for decades. Often these are pipe dreams that do not come to fruition.
