Always get a second opinion from ChatGPT, a third from Claude and a fourth from Gemini.

It is astounding how much more you can learn about your diagnosis from an LLM.



I have found it very useful to discuss possible diagnoses and diagnostic steps with the LLM before going to the ER. Once there, I told them what my expectations were along with the rationale for it. They agreed with 80% of it.

Ultimately the ER was of no use in treatment, but the preparation did help rule out a serious diagnosis.


What could possibly go wrong.


Things are already going severely wrong in 1% of the cases. At this point not getting a second opinion from an LLM is irresponsible, imo.


This is precisely the thing that LLMs are great for: spicy auto-complete.


What do you think doctors do all day?
