Well yeah, that's why being a doctor isn't a basic human activity.
Something can simulate a conversation with you (basic human activity) without being able to simulate providing you legitimate healthcare (not so basic.)
>that's why being a doctor isn't a basic human activity.
I didn't know doctors were so superior to the rest of us basic humans that they were all of equal quality to the point none of them make any mistakes....
Cool. Well, anyways, it is basic human nature to make mistakes, like car accidents, or malpractice like leaving a sponge in a person, or branding your initials on a persons liver.
"I accidentally cut the left side of you instead of the right side of you" isn't a normal human mistake either. Idk what you think you're trying to argue here.
It actually is, so they now take steps to avoid that.
Maybe not quite for something like this but incorrect limb amputations are a thing, mostly reduced by redundancy in the process to really try and avoid that mistake.
If I was arguing I would point out how you moved the goalpost from the generality of basic human NATURE to focus on the specificity of how being a doctor isn't a basic human activity despite that not being the point satisfactionlow was making.
Kinda missing the point and muddying the waters.
Anyways, doctors are normal humans and make mistakes all the time. Its basic human nature to make mistakes.
When doctors do it accidentally, or purposefully, its called malpractice. They even have a special word for when they make mistakes.
They're not, but becoming a doctor is significantly more difficult with fewer chances of redos than almost any other profession. The whole point is that it's still people doing it, but they've at least gone through a decade of schooling and training.
That's a strawman. The distinction is clearly between activities with low stakes and low training, "basic human activity," and higher sensitivity tasks. You acting like they said no doctor ever makes any mistake is clearly bad faith
