> cautious that this is the type of reasoning which propels the anti-vax movement

I hear you but there are two fundamentally different things:

1. Distrust of / disbelief in science 2. Doctors not incentivized to spend more than a few minutes on any given patients

There are many many anecdotes related to the second, many here in this thread. I have my own as well.

I can talk to ChatGPT/whatever at any time, for any amount of time, and present in *EXHAUSTIVE* detail every single datapoint I have about my illness/problem/whatever.

If I was a billionaire I assume I could pay a super-smart, highly-experienced human doctor to accommodate the same.

But short of that, we have GPs who have no incentive to spend any time on you. That doesn't mean they're bad people. I'm sure the vast majority have absolutely the best of intentions. But it's simply infeasible, economically or otherwise, for them to give you the time necessary to actually solve your problem.

I don't know what the solution to this is. I don't know nearly enough about the insurance and health industries to imagine what kind of structure could address this. But I am guessing that this might be what is meant by "outcome-based medicine," i.e., your job isn't done until the patient actually gets the desired outcome.

Right now my GP has every incentive to say "meh" and send me home after a 3-minute visit. As a result I more or less stopped bothering making doctor appointments for certain things.
