“I can’t remember the last time I asked a medical student in tutorial group a question that was answered without looking at a screen.”
And this:
“We have a 1M master solution, we need to make a 50 mL of buffer that has that component at 10 mM, how much do we need to add?”
Blank stares, followed by reaching for calculators (and in more recent times phones). I stop them immediately and tell them:
“Do it in your head”.
They can’t. I tell them the answer (500 microliters), then we move to the next component, which also has to be at 10 mM, but the master solution is 5M.
“How much do we need to add”?
Blank stares again. Nobody can figure out to just divide the already arrived at answer for the 1M master solution of 500 by 5, no that is too hard. They start doing the calculation from scratch…
That was the already preexisting condition to which AI is being added now…
The takeaway? Always check your prescription dosage labels yourself.
