I heard a confession from a friend the other day who's working on ML in health care who's leaving that field as soon as he can because as best as he and his team can measure, the most important thing ML analytics can bring to hospitals is the mathematical certainty they should have taken the money they spent on ML analytics and hired nurses instead.

Three years ago, I put a research paper on MedRxiv, and started trying to get it published. After four different journals said it was not quite their thing, and I started to get inundated by predatory journals, I gave up. That is the fate of about half of all papers written, and is a serious problem. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.16.20030684v3
