Medical AI is becoming part of surgery, diagnosis, monitoring, and clinical decision-making—but what happens when the system gets something wrong? A navigation system can show a surgeon the wrong location. An AI can mistake one body part for another. A cardiac algorithm can filter out an event that actually matters. This mini-documentary explores medical AI failures, AI in healthcare, surgical navigation systems, AI diagnostics, medical-device safety, data drift, human oversight, FDA regulation, and the growing challenge of understanding exactly where an AI-assisted medical mistake began.
