Then a trained and experienced clinician can narrow down the choices. This way the LLM has reduced the possibilities and helped direct the inquiry. Time can be saved in this way. Sometimes this is a good practice, sometimes not so much. </font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style=""><font size="3"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style=""><font size="3">-- Bob Primak</font> </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br></div>
