‘I Am Going To Be Applying To McDonald's': Dubai Doctor Fears Losing Job To AI
Last Updated: A pulmonologist in Dubai expressed concern that AI might replace him after using it to analyse X-rays. A surprising claim came from a Dubai-based doctor who joked that artificial intelligence (AI) might replace him. He humorously added that if he loses his job, he might have to apply at McDonald's. Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji, a veteran pulmonologist with 18 years of experience specialising in critical care and sleep medicine, shared his reaction on Instagram. He tested an AI tool by having it analyse patient X-rays to see if the technology could match his medical conclusions. 'So, I am about to lose my job. This is scary because I developed a skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he explained, pointing to an X-ray of lungs. He then turned the screen to show a different scan with two highlighted regions, the exact areas he had used to diagnose the patient's pneumonia. 'Now, here comes AI, and it points it out in a second. So, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays; you just used artificial intelligence. So, I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," he remarked. The doctor, however, praised the technology after it detected an anomaly in a scan that he hadn't noticed. After prescribing medication for the condition, the patient began to improve. 'It's not easy realising your skills need to evolve. AI is coming. I have to admit: AI helped find the diagnosis here," he wrote in the caption of the clip. Watch The Video: Shared on May 20, the video has already garnered over 10,000 views. Other medical professionals and AI enthusiasts, surprised by the pulmonologist's response to AI, shared their reactions. A user suggested, 'AI will enable you to help more people and take more time for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you!" Another user pointed out that while AI can detect abnormalities, it takes a skilled physician to interpret their significance. 'This video is embarrassing. Any competent radiologist would have dismissed the findings even after AI's 'help," the individual said. AI in healthcare is evolving from a supplementary aid to a potentially transformative force. Diagnostic tools like Lunit INSIGHT CXR now match or even surpass the accuracy of human physicians. First Published:

Dubai Doctor Fears Losing His Job As AI Accurately Analyses X-Ray: "Going To Apply To McDonald's"
A pulmonologist based in Dubai was astonished by the accuracy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing diseases. Recently, Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji tested an AI tool's ability to detect pneumonia from an X-ray and was impressed when it pinpointed the same areas he had identified, as well as an additional spot he had missed. The AI completed the task in seconds, a stark contrast to the 20 years Dr. Katranji spent acquiring his expertise. The AI's findings ultimately aided in the patient's recovery. "I am about to lose my job. This is scary because I developed the skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he said in the video, showing his findings. "Now, here comes AI, and they pick it up in a second. Now, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays. You just have artificial intelligence. They picked up pneumonia. I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," the doctor joked.

Some people believe AI can enhance the work of doctors, allowing them to focus more on patient care and less on routine tasks. Others argue that AI lacks the human judgment and nuanced understanding that doctors bring to diagnosing and treating patients, and that AI should be seen as a tool rather than a replacement for medical professionals. One user commented, "AI will enable you to help more people and take more time for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you." Another wrote, "I mean it doesnt necessarily take over your job, you can use it to greatly save time which you can invest in helping other people or yourself." Notably, the role of AI in healthcare is evolving from a supportive tool to a potentially dominant force. AI tools like Lunit INSIGHT CXR are now demonstrating diagnostic accuracy comparable to, or even surpassing, human doctors. Earlier, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had predicted that technology would soon make doctors obsolete, citing the rapid advancements in AI. During a February appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, Mr Gates expressed both amazement and concern about the speed and potential of these developments. He also believes that AI will make expert-level services widely available and accessible for free, potentially revolutionising access to healthcare and other fields.

'I am going to lose my job': AI outpaces doctor's two decades of experience in seconds. Can machines truly replace professional expertise?
It starts like any routine diagnostic moment: a seasoned pulmonologist, eyes locked on a chest X-ray, deciphering shadows and streaks with the confidence of someone who has spent over two decades learning to read them like a map. But in the blink of an eye, a new competitor enters—not a younger doctor, not even a human, but a silent, calculating intelligence trained on millions of images. And it arrives at the same diagnosis in seconds. Dr. Fawzi Katranji, a U.S.-based pulmonologist, captured this eerie moment in a TikTok video that's now making waves. The caption reads bluntly: 'I'm going to lose my job.' In the clip, he walks viewers through how he would traditionally analyze a complex chest X-ray—spotting pneumonia patterns, consolidations, and reading subtle cues that, for decades, have defined the art of his profession. But then he turns to Lunit INSIGHT CXR, an AI-powered X-ray interpretation tool. In mere seconds, it highlights the same diagnoses he meticulously verbalized, stripping away the illusion that his decades of training offered any insulation from the future. 'This is scary,' he says, almost laughing—but it's the nervous laugh of someone standing at the edge of a professional cliff. 'I developed this skill over 20 years... and here comes AI and they pick it up in a second.'

Artificial Intelligence was once thought to be a helper, an assistant in the workflow. But what happens when the assistant becomes the expert—and faster, cheaper, and potentially even more accurate? For years, the narrative around AI replacing jobs focused on the so-called "simple" ones—data entry, customer service, even some writing roles. The underlying belief was that creative, skilled, and interpretive professions would be safe. Medicine, especially, was held up as one of the final frontiers—requiring years of education, precise judgment, and above all, human empathy.

It's not just chatbots and copywriters who are feeling the heat. Coders were recently dealt a blow when Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta 's ambition to have 50% of its programming done by AI agents. And now, doctors are confronting the same cold efficiency. Medicine's Murky Future: Human Insight vs Machine Speed What's most unsettling for professionals like Dr. Fawzi is not just the competence of AI—it's the implications for their very identity. His job wasn't just about knowing what pneumonia looks like; it was about the years it took to know it deeply, intuitively, instantly. That journey, it seems, can now be leapfrogged by a machine in milliseconds. The regulatory frameworks in healthcare, thankfully for many, still uphold human oversight. Licensing boards, patient consent, and ethical considerations ensure that AI isn't yet flying solo in most hospitals. And while AI can analyze, it can't comfort, contextualize, or respond to the emotional weight of a diagnosis. One commenter on Dr. Fawzi's post echoed this hope: 'Just because AI can do that doesn't mean it's 100% correct all the time.' Another added, 'I don't care if it costs extra. I'd much rather have a doctor and AI working in tandem than AI diagnosing me alone.'

So is AI here to replace doctors, or redefine them? That's the existential question haunting not just healthcare, but every skilled field that once believed itself too complex to automate. For now, experts like Dr. Fawzi might not be handing in their stethoscopes, but the discomfort is real. AI may be a boon for efficiency and accuracy, but for the workers whose sense of purpose and livelihood depend on tasks now rendered algorithmic, the boom feels like a betrayal. In Dr. Fawzi's words, half-joking and half-dreadful: 'So I'm going to be applying to McDonald's soon. I hope they have some openings.' Whether that becomes a reality or remains a grim jest depends on how society chooses to integrate intelligence—both artificial and human—in the years to come.
