You don’t need to be a tech expert to recognize that something may be off. After a surgical complication, many families notice details like:
- Operative or discharge documentation that references automated summaries or “generated” text
- Imaging reports that appear to rely on software interpretation without clear confirmation steps
- Mentions of decision-support tools used during triage, consent, planning, or follow-up
- Notes that read like they were created from templates, but omit key intraoperative details
- Inconsistent timelines between nursing notes, anesthesia records, and what you were told afterward
These clues don’t automatically prove negligence. But they can justify a targeted investigation into what the AI produced, how clinicians used it, and whether the team verified it appropriately.
