AI _is_ replacing radiologists. Where AI stands for "An Indian". Search for teleradiology, on Google and on HN too.


You do realize that in order to interpret imaging for a US based patient, any physician needs to have a US medical license?


Any physician with a medical license in the US can sign off on an Indian physician's work. Or hundreds of them.


This already does happen for nighthawk coverage for example where a non-US radiologist will provide a wet read and then a US rad will sign off. The US rad will always bear the liability however.


States give out driver licenses and licenses for trucking they'll give out medical licenses soon too.
