About this episode

This episode discusses the role of AI in managing post-op atrial fibrillation and the importance of human judgment in medical care.

Can AI manage post-op atrial fibrillation or does medicine still require human judgment? Using post-op AFib as a case study, we explore where algorithms help, where evidence falls short, and why clinical context still matters. When evidence is incomplete, and every patient is different, can AI truly practice medicine or only assist the clinicians who do? This episode explores the space between algorithms, uncertainty, and human judgment in modern medical care. 🔹 Sponsor: Search “Amazon Pharmacy Nationwide Home Delivery" in your EHR to get home delivery (often same-day).
