Usually professional programs are those where to practice one has to pass a licensing exam and show that one has completed training. Nursing fits. This is ignorant nonsense

You have no objection if cited though? In short are you objecting to the lack of acknowledgement or the use of your ideas. In the latter case, why publish

You learn much about things that didn't work and therefore were never published, whose papers to trust, and which to be suspicious of. In short the kind of local knowledge that allows one to cut through the published literature thicket. 2/n

Were the LLMs trained on medical data or is it just what they found on the web. LLMs are what they eat, and RAGs which have vetted information give better answers

When you go into court and show that the feds are unlawfully withholding support it is quite reasonable to ask for permission to hold back federal tax revenue. OTOH, you could pull a Trump-do(d)ge and simply do it and when called into court point out the reason
