Thank you for this illuminating interview! It took me 12 years to finally get a diagnosis—and I was the one who had to lead the way. Like so many in the complex chronic illness community, I navigated a maze of specialists, often out of network or cash-pay, traveling across the country and spending over $500k in the process. If I were starting over today, I truly believe I’d have a near-instant diagnosis and a fraction of the financial and emotional toll. No matter how you feel about AI, it’s undeniably revolutionizing healthcare—and for patients like us, that’s a game changer.
