I hope AI replaces most of them. My experience in the ER, at least in Canada. You're not getting a doctor. You're getting a doctor's 10 minutes attention, while they're running around from patient to patient. Don't expect your diagnosis to be anything more then the most obvious, A -> B diagnosis. When your problems conflate from the drugs they just wrongly gave you, and add in random screw ups, staff and equipment shortages. You will be getting reactive medicine, as your condition worsens. A death spiral, from which you will not escape. Many will be transitioned to the after life in hospital in this way.
Give AI better diagnostic testing data, and AI will make better care decisions then any doctor. The doctors/nurses will still be needed to take care of the patient. But it seems pretty clear that AI will be making the decisions, in the short future.
