The fact is that doctors are human, so they have cognitive biases and make mistakes and sometimes miss things, just like all other humans.

Humans are extraordinarily lazy sometimes too. A good LLM does not possess that flaw.

A doctor can also have an in-the-moment negatively impactful context: depression, exhaustion, or any number of life events going on, all of which can drastically impact their performance. Doctors get depressed like everybody else. They can care less due to something affecting them. These are not problems a good LLM has.
