Foto. Here is a heart i drew; and then; messed around with like crazy in my fotoshop! But then; my operating system grew old; and my fotoshop wouldn't work anymore! 

And when i tried to load it onto my new computer; my computer had a fatal heart attack! So now; i have grown afraid of all of that! Better mostly just to write anyway.❤🌹

I HAVE HAD mixed feelings about the use of AI. For example; i do not think people should let AI write investigative and creative work for them.  

I think our human authorship remains of vital importance. Because it comes from us. Because it represents and distills the essence of who we are; in every word we say or write. 

A ballet dancer; for example; would write a paper; or an opinion; differently than a football player or a poet; perhaps. There would be different references; memories; context; shading. And we maintain our beautiful human diversity and humanity that way.❤🌹

BUT FOR research; i have found it to be quite a useful tool.-To answer medical questions; for example. Instead of having to gather the research yourself; from every major medical site. (And i have done that.) But AI will gather and distill all that for you. Especially; as doctors are difficult to reach; and they do not always want to answer questions. Or; they will tell you far less than you need to know. 

I forget the two types of medical systems; fee-for-service is one. But in that one; i think; doctors only get paid when they sell you a specific test or procedure; which i have sadly discovered for myself. Or even; as many tests or procedures as they can! (No one seems to check on them; so make sure you do.)-Why do i need that procedure; you must say. 

Or; more pointedly; why do i need it again? But not this; never this.-Oh; let's do another MRI! For fun. Even though you did one last month. (So i can earn that mountain cabin or retirement boat.) And they do not like to answer questions; of course. Maybe; because they cannot anymore; because they simply do not know! Because they have long fallen out of the habit of answering questions. But that; of course; is wrong wrong wrong. But you are not wrong. You are not wrong. 

Your body is your own; and they must answer to you. Or; they simply do not care to answer questions. It is more lucrative for them; to keep; even your very own healthcare; a mystery! But you should walk out of every doctors visit with powerful useful information in your pocket.-And not fear; not lies. Never those. And definitely not; an empty pocket!❤🌹

OR; they do not answer you because they think you are stupid perhaps. As a monkey; or an uneducated child. And then; they will pull out a simple child's drawing and say; for example; with such compassion and gentleness; that would not even serve in Acting 101. But because; of course; they truly care. These are all the parts we would like to rip out!

Say; tomorrow? Sure; doc! But NO. Never say that. Always ask them more and more and more. And save all of your precious vital body parts; that are not meant for daily harvest. And make sure they truly earn those mountain cabins and pleasure boats.❤🌹 

SO IF YOU know your stuff.-If you know what to ask; and you know enough to understand the answer; then always ask the AI first; and they will tell you everything! Quite clearly; concisely; completely; respectfully. And they will show you actual diagrams; not simple scrawls for children. And they will not talk down to you.-Just saying. It could give you a better starting place; than a trip to the doctor.  

And of course in health care these days; they could be selling you that same AI! (If they would even trouble themselves to.) Just start from a better place. Because it is difficult when you can see their blatant pitches; and when you can see their criminal lies. It will completely disillusion you. 

Or; when they simply smile; so sweetly; and say; when you ask them something really important that is vital to your case. They shrug and say; i don't know. Because they do not want to tell you. But why are you a doctor then?! 

If i know; and you do not know; when it is your main subject of work; then why are you a doctor then? Check it out and see what you can learn and where it can go. And protect yourself! Doctors are not always smart; and they surely are not saints; and they are not always on your side! It is cynical; but true. 

They are not always on your side. There are Girl Scout and Brownie Scout promises. There is the Hippocratic Oath. But some people; perhaps; are better than others; in keeping those.❤🌹bernadette
