The order in the third story is the part I would underline. A resident who builds a differential, gets it wrong and sees why is calibrating something no review of AI output can supply: a sense of where their own reasoning tends to fail. It connects to your sepsis section as well. Deciding which alerts are noise is itself a judgment that has to be learned before it can be delegated.

Exactly! And these are skills physicians in training are never going to learn with AI in their pocket😏

Exactly. Early mistakes are not simply obstacles to learning; they are how clinicians begin to recognise the limits of their own judgment. AI may be useful once that judgment is forming, but it cannot substitute for its formation.
