A new study found that physicians have a surprisingly poor knowledge of the benefits and harms of common medical treatments. Almost 80% overestimated the benefits, and two-thirds overestimated the harms. And, as Aaron Carroll pointed out, it's not just that they were off, but "it's how off they often were." Anyone out there who still doesn't think artificial intelligence (AI) is needed in health care? The authors noted that previous studies have found that patients often overestimate benefits as well, but tended to minimize potential harms. Not only do physicians overestimate harm, they "underestimate how often most treatments have no effects on patients -- either harmful or beneficial"...
