Day 3 · Week 1 · AI & self-care
I understand the explanation. What would I do next?
Plenty of saved health articles, but no clear next step. If that were me, I would make the goal smaller: prepare for my next visit.
I would put one topic, such as “elevated PSA,” into the prompt below and ask for something to learn, categories of information a clinician might need, and a follow-up question. It would not need my medical records.
A prompt I'd try:
Copy the prompt, then open ChatGPT and paste it into a new chat.
Help me prepare for a medical visit about [general health topic]. Give me three short items: one thing to learn, information a clinician might need and why, and one question about next steps or follow-up. List information categories without asking me to upload personal records. Don't diagnose, recommend medication changes, or decide whether it is safe for me to wait. If important context is missing, say so.
Copy manually
Press and hold the text below, choose Copy, then paste it in ChatGPT.
Separately, in my own notes, I would record symptoms, timing and medicines for my clinician, not paste them into AI. I would put my most important question at the top and start there at the visit. I would not use AI to choose treatment or decide whether waiting was safe. Helping me organize this conversation would be enough.
