The story behind the toon

What happened: Four specialists are great — until no one's seen the patient before.

This Neural Toon is based on the story “RAG-Coding: Enhancing LLM Medical Coding with Structured External Knowledge”.

Panel 1 – Jordan: One wrong code. One audit. We're dead.

Panel 1 – Taylor: Deadline's Friday. Ship the bot anyway.

Panel 2 – Jordan: Monash's RAG-Coding uses 4 agents. 13% more accurate.

Panel 2 – Taylor: 13%? That's $50k in reclaimed revenue.

Panel 3 – Jordan: Dr. Chen's team just cut error rates by 13%.

Panel 3 – Taylor: Now they code 30% more claims per day.

Panel 4 – Jordan: Works only if the knowledge base has your disease.

Panel 4 – Taylor: Rare cases? We'll just… figure it out later.
