Episode notes
House Fire Led To Diagnosis
- A wildfire forced Steve Brown into a new community where an ER CT scan revealed his previously-missed cancer.
- He then used his AI agents on his prior records and found the diagnosis would have been caught a year earlier.
Diverse Agent Convergence
- Steve uses many specialised AI agents to get diverse medical perspectives on the same records.
- He looks for convergence across agents as a stronger signal than any single model's answer.
Ask For Tests That Differentiate
- Use AI to produce a focused differential and recommend the next tests to narrow diagnosis.
- Ask for the definitive test that would rule in or out key possibilities rather than only seeking a single final answer.
