Are physicians losing clinical confidence when using AI tools? 🤖

A recent discussion on G-Med asked physicians a critical question:

“For those using AI, have you felt any erosion of your skills or confidence when relying on AI assistance?”

Here’s what physicians said:

• 57.47% do not use AI in their practice
• 18.39% said somewhat, in certain tasks
• 13.79% said no erosion of skills
• 10.34% said yes

While adoption is growing, many physicians remain cautious. As one psychiatrist in Canada shared:

“We need to ensure that AI is not eroding our ability to be empathic and compassionate.”

AI may support clinical workflows, but physicians remain at the center of patient care.

Porphyria can mimic psychiatric illness, acute abdominal emergencies, or unexplained photosensitivity, making diagnosis challenging even for experienced physicians.

Porphyria is a group of rare metabolic disorders caused by defects in the heme biosynthesis pathway, leading to toxic accumulation of porphyrins.

Clinical presentations vary widely:
• Severe abdominal pain and neuropathy in acute porphyrias
• Photosensitivity and blistering skin in cutaneous forms

The most common subtype, Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT), is often associated with:
• Hepatitis C
• Alcohol use
• Iron overload
• Estrogen therapy

🔬 Diagnosis often requires specialized testing, including urine porphyrins and plasma fluorescence scanning.

On G-Med, internists from 11 countries shared clinical perspectives on managing complex rare diseases like porphyria, highlighting the value of global physician collaboration.

Because when physicians share experience, rare diseases become easier to recognize.

What did physicians actually talk about in February?

Inside G-Med, the conversations went far beyond headlines:

🔹 Should oncologists manage psychosocial care — or are boundaries essential to prevent burnout?
🔹 A Singapore dengue trial expanding across Brazil — what does scale mean for safety?
🔹 When family conflict meets patient autonomy — who is the real risk?
🔹 Can AI sound compassionate while still being clinically unsafe?
🔹 And the moments doctors carry long after their shifts end.

These aren’t simple cases.
They’re the daily realities of modern medicine.

G-Med is where physicians unpack them together.

Can AI interpret your X-ray? And should it?

We tested two versions of the same AI model with the same knee X-ray.

One refused to interpret it.
The other confidently analyzed joint space narrowing, osteophytes, and sclerosis.

Same image.
Same prompt.
Very different responses.

Here’s the real issue:
When AI answers medical questions directly for patients, is it helping, or creating risk?

According to 110 physicians on G-Med:
• 57% said patients should NOT have direct access to AI image interpretation
• 20% said Yes
• 22% were unsure

AI in radiology is powerful.
But medical image interpretation isn’t just pattern recognition, it’s clinical context, accountability, and patient safety.

As AI tools become more accessible, the question isn’t can they interpret images.

It’s whether they should, without a physician.

Only 60% of physicians knew the correct next step.

This patient failed 4 months of standard acne therapy.

Do you escalate? Switch antibiotics? Start isotretinoin?

Acne management decisions can permanently impact patient outcomes.

Physicians discuss cases like this daily on G-Med.
