In this episode I’m joined by Alexandra Sifferlin of The New York Times, author of The Elusive Body. We talk about the hidden crisis of misdiagnosis, why we still struggle with uncertainty despite our technology, and what patients get wrong about how diagnosis actually works. This is a big conversation about the limits of medicine, the mythology of the doctor, and what may remain stubbornly human as AI moves into the clinic.
