In order to get this done, I needed to have a call with my primary care physician essentially as a hurdle to get their authorization.

Then, when the results came back, I uploaded them to the LLM and found I had dangerously high LDL for my age. The LLM recommended a statin since it was likely hereditary, which my additional research suggests is the correct suggestion.

To get a second opinion I scheduled another call and got a dismissive response that essentially concluded there was nothing to be done.

First, she misdiagnosed it directly assuming it must be my diet and gave me the generic 'eat healthy' routine, until I told her I already did, the LLM first asked some clarifying questions before jumping to conclusions, so I guided her later to realize it was hereditary to correct her.

Now I need to call her again to re-rest in another month, then again a forth time to get a statin.

The strange ethical question is should primary care doctors, which typically only route the patient to diagnostics and specialty care physicians be replaced by an LLM entirely?

The paradox is we seem to be of the belief they are needed and superior, but is it not the case they are often wrong?
