Imagine this dream scenario: you are a doctor and have a series of subtle, detailed questions about a patient’s condition to which the answers will help you correctly diagnose their illness, and/or decide the best treatment. You turn to your “assistant” Watson, in this case not Sherlock’s friend but a computer, pose the questions and within seconds, you have the answers, plucked from millions of pages of medical information.
