We got an earful from a senior clinician about how doctors are now relying too much on technology rather than proper history taking and physical exam to make a diagnosis, even differentials.
She ended with this quote: You must not be a servant to technology but it's master...you are future clinicians, not technicians
Another IM doc, who's one of the best in my hospital and who's been all over the world says that he does not like the US system because it relies too much on technology.
Now, I know that it is important to make diagnoses which are almost 100% correct, and that it is to avoid being sued with malpractice being so high.
What do you think? As a US student yourself, since I'm foreign
