Résumé : The text highlights the gap between digital, instant time (AI, online answers) and the slow, non-compressible biological time of surgery (healing, bone union, rehab). This mismatch fuels unrealistic patient expectations. Drawing on René Leriche and medical humanities, the author insists that surgery is a human encounter requiring listening and timing. AI can optimize fast steps (diagnosis, planning) but cannot speed up healing; it should clarify, not create false promises.
