Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly increasing its interference in every field today. The medical sector is also not left from this. While AI is considered to be the future of diagnosis and disease management, a new study published in the LANCET journal has pointed to a serious threat. According to this report, the dependence on AI-based tools can weaken the skills of doctors. That is, the technique with which the treatment of patients should be easy, can also gradually eliminate the capacity of doctors.

Doctors affect skills

The study made at four colonoscopy centers in Poland found that AI assisted diagnosis declined by the ‘Adenoma Detection Rate’ of doctors (adenoma detection rate ie diseases like cancer). According to the data, where the adenoma was being detected in 28 cases without the help of AI earlier, it was reduced to 22 percent after depending on AI. That is, a reduction of about 20 percent. This means that doctors can lose their clinical judgment and diagnosis capacity by constantly depending on AI.

Why is this danger happening?

Experts believe that when a doctor gets constant solution and decorations, their ability to think and analyze themselves decreases. This situation in the health sector is even more dangerous, because the wrong diagnosis here can have a direct impact on the patient’s life. Researchers say that if this trend increases, in the coming time, doctors will depend only on AI and their own professional skills will fall behind.

What are experts saying?

Dr. Marsin Rauomarsxic of Poland involved in the study says that we have to understand which factors are increasing this problem. At the same time, Professor Yuchi Mori of the University of Oslo said that if the doctors use AI continuously, then they themselves can be less motivated, less focused and less responsible. That is, instead of saving the lives of patients, doctors will close their eyes on technology and start trusting.

Big alarm for india

In countries like India, where there is already a lack of doctors and health infrastructure, more dependence on AI can make the situation even more difficult. Dr. Vidur Mahajan, who is the CEO of Carpl.AI, says that we have to pay attention to both the advantages and disadvantages of increasing use of AI. It is necessary to adopt AI technology, but at the same time doctors’ training and practical skills have to be strengthened.

This report of the Lancet is a major warning that if AI is not used in a balanced manner, then the skills of doctors in the health sector can gradually end. It is necessary to use AI as an assistant and not to be completely dependent. Otherwise, the day is not far when doctors will only work on the decisions of machines and the lives of patients will be in danger.

A serious incident occurred on 16 September 2023 at the Temeside Hospital in Greater Manchester, Britain, in which 44 -year -old consultant anesthetic Dr. Suhail Anjum alleged that he tried to have sex with a nurse in another operating theater, leaving the patient in anesthesia during gall bladder surgery. The incident was seen and reported by one of his colleague nurses NT, who found both in an objectionable position.

According to the BBC report, Dr. Anjum returned to complete the operation after about eight minutes. He admitted that this could have threatened the patient’s life, although there was no loss. He described personal troubles such as his daughter’s premature birth and marital tension as the reason behind this incident.

Dr. Suhail Anjum left the hospital in February 2024

According to the news website The Independent, Dr. Suhail Anjum told the Medical Property Tribunal Service (MPTS) that he left the Temeside Hospital in February 2024 and has returned to Pakistan since then. However, he expressed his desire to resume his medical career in Britain and assured that it was a one -time mistake and will not happen again.

Dr. Anjum accepted a mistake

Giving evidence, Dr. Anjum said, “It was quite shameful. I was my fault. I disappointed not only my patient and myself, but also my colleagues.” He said that the nurse NT was also put in troubles due to this incident.

Dr. Anjum said that this incident took place in a tense time for his family. In January 2023, his daughter was born prematurely, which was very low. He said, “My wife’s delivery was very difficult and stressful. At that time we could not connect with each other emotionally.” He apologized to all the people concerned and said, “I want a chance to rectify this mistake.”
