It doesn’t stop it from encountering the same problems human doctors encounter: not having all relevant information. We blame the people all the time, but the structures in place allow for errors to happen; you can’t catch a patient who is hiding symptoms or unknowingly visiting multiple doctors most times, you think ChatGPT will?

If it was set up right, it would read in their medical profile and full history, and then use it's full medical knowledge to ask the patient relevant questions to narrow down potential causes, or refer them to get specific testing, which would update their profile. Unlike the real medical field, chatGPT medical could be updated with the latest research information often, so it doesn't keep using outdated info like MD's in real life.
