Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had my left knee replaced when I was 62 years old. The surgeon said there was a 1 to 2 percent risk of infection, but I later learned that the pain from the surgery was beyond the reach of oxycodone. I became desperate for relief, and tried everything from acupuncture to electro-acupuncture to cold laser.

#2 The book Arthrofibrosis, which my wife found, explained that arthrofibrosis is a complication that occurs in 2 to 3 percent of patients after a knee replacement. It is a vicious inflammation response to the joint that results in profound scarring. I was warned about the risk of infection, but not about the risk of arthrofibrosis.

#3 AI is being used to help save lives already. My friend Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, a medical geneticist who heads up a pioneering program at the Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, was awarded a Guinness World Record for taking a sample of blood to a fully sequenced and interpreted genome in only 19. 5 hours.

#4 The key to saving this boy’s life was determining the root cause of his condition. Very experienced physicians might have eventually found the right course of treatment, but machines can do this work far quicker and better than people.
