I was having a foot issue and he diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis without touching my foot, looking at my foot (except glancing at it while I was wearing a sock) or watching me walk. In the visit notes on MyChart he went into great detail about how my foot looked, felt, moved, etc. I was furious.

I hope you feel better soon!

Probably not much, now. But I can see a day where docs use AI to find a better diagnosis than just "stomach pain," Silent Type Jun 2024 #13
