> telehealth is much better at recognizing "I can't given an accurate answer for this over the phone, you'll need to have some tests done"

I'm not sure this is true.

Again, it's not that all telehealth doctors are great at this, it's that LLMs are awful at caving in to saying something with warnings the reader will opt to ignore instead of being adamant things are just too uncertain to say anything of value when continually prompted.

This is largely because an LLM guessing an answer is rewarded more often than just not answering, which is not true in the healthcare profession.

I follow the logic, I'm just not sure the claim is right.
