For major medical issues it may well be best practice to use the four eyes principle like we do for all safety related systems. Access is key and at this time getting a second pair of eyes in close timely proximity is a luxury few have and even fewer will have looking at the demographics in the developed world. Human doctors are failable as is AI. For the time being having a multitude of perspectives may well be the best in most cases.

The big bank phrase for "four eyes" was "maker/checker" and I always enjoyed that it rhymed.

You are 100% correct that, much like pilots overseeing autopilots, we should combine the best of both worlds in the medical field.
