    Ask a Doctor: Why go to the doc when you could use a chatbot?

    These days people are using AI chatbots for everything.  These chatbots have a wealth of information at their metaphorical fingertips. But the accuracy of the information that they offer us is, well, questionable. But it makes sense why some people turn to AI for medical advice. They’re usually free, which gives them an upper hand when healthcare in the United States is so expensive.  They’re also easy to access, so people can get their questions answered immediately, instead of waiting for an opening at their doctor’s office.  And they’re trained to be empathic, which is especially appealing to patients who don’t feel valued in medical settings.  In this "Ask a Doctor" segment, we explore the world of health advice and chatbots with two medical professionals.  Guests:  Angad Singh is a family medicine physician. He's also an Associate Chief Clinical Information Officer and Clinical Associate Professor at UW Medicine. Danielle Bitterman is an assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Clinical Lead for Data Science and AI at Mass General Brigham. Related links: A.I.

    A KUOW journalist returns to the story that rocked Garfield High School when she was a student

    In 1999, student journalists at Garfield High School heard a rumor. It was about a beloved teacher named Tom Hudson.  He taught biology. He ran a popular outdoors program. And, according to the rumor, he sexually abused students.  The journalists broke the news of these allegations for their school newspaper…. And chaos unfolded.  The reporters faced pressure to step down from the paper. Their schoolmates turned on them. Their teacher was placed on leave.  And, just a few months after everything blew up, Mr. Hudson died by suicide.   “Adults in the Room” is a new series from KUOW that explores the questions that went unanswered 27 years ago: Did Mr. Hudson really abuse these students? Or did these young journalists act irresponsibly, at the expense of a teacher’s life?  Guests:  Isolde Raftery is a managing editor at KUOW. She's also the host of “Adults in the Room" and  one of the student journalists who broke the news on these allegations at Garfield.  Related links:  KUOW - Focus: Adults in the Room KUOW - Two Seattle girls learn a secret at their high school.
