Perhaps the first step needs to be "How sensitive is this patient to bedside
manner?", and from that estimate then prioritize the relative timing of one
sort of analysis over another. I assume I'm dealing with an intelligent, if
imperfect, person. I think it takes some self-control to be a good patient,
too.

Perhaps. But if that's the case, I would immediately leave and find
another Dr. As I explained before, and is peppered throughout Renee's
training, the "assessment of the patient", which involves really *looking* at
the patient, is more powerful than any other (set of) metric(s).
To be clear, the patient assessment machine can be completely autistic.
But they must "assess the patient" by looking at her.

company at one point) to finagle his attention and demonstrate our mutual
affinity for how computation can help him provide good healthcare. I even
explained how I'd looked him up online beforehand and knew all the schools he
went to and that he had no active malpractice suits against him. (Which was no
small feat since he's an immigrant from India.)

you're also computer literate, you could use the same trick next time a Dr's
attention is too focused on the computer?
