People!

Interacting with real people, facing a person trying to get help for something that they don't want to experience is vastly different than reading about a symptom or group of symptoms in a book.

That just sounds like instruct tuning on user data with extra steps. They must've collected hundreds of millions of conversation examples of people asking for medical related things by now.

You're thinking about nursing. This is a different field that I think doctors should study and practice too.

Doctors, from what I can tell, receive no formal education in nursing.

[tty456]

Right. All doctors are 100% happy to help you, listen intently, and are never condescending! /s

[kruffalon]

No, in my experience most are actually quite condescending, but I can't imagine they would treat me better if I was the first ever patient they had to deal with.
