"Nearly a third of physician practices are using AI scribes and others are working to add the tool, in an effort to cut down on administrative work.
If your practitioner suggests using an AI scribe at your next appointment, here are three things to keep in mind."

@bich My office got new computers about 3 weeks ago, including in the exam rooms. Yesterday when I was seeing patients I discovered that the computers in both the exam rooms I was using had the cord to the keyboard wrapped up tightly, keeping me from moving it even two inches closer towards me. Eventually I got the wires unwrapped and gave a solid YANK so that I could once again sit down facing the patient and touch-type, keyboard on my lap.
I guess everyone else using the room was using AI.
At this point I would pay more for a consultation or a diagnostic without "AI".
The way I paid more for a printer that is *not* WiFi enabled. But that's speaking from a position of privilege.
