Outcome

Prompt Recreated prompt
The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points. Goal: Get ready for a doctor's appointment: a clear summary of what's going on and a short list of questions so I don't forget anything. What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing): - Reason for the visit, in my own words - When it started and what makes it better or worse - Current medicines and supplements (including over-the-counter) and doses - Questions or worries I already have - Appointment length, and whether it's in person or video This is admin help, not medical advice. Don't diagnose or suggest treatments. If anything I mention sounds urgent, tell me to contact a doctor or emergency services first. Rules: - This is admin help, not medical advice: don't diagnose or suggest changing any medicine. - Turn my notes into a 30-second summary I can read out at the start. - Write my top 5 questions in priority order, including ones about any OTC medicine I'm taking or considering. - Add a checklist of what to bring: insurance card, medication list, previous results. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A one-page sheet: summary, timeline, medication list, top 5 questions, what to bring, and space for notes. You'll know it worked when: I cover my top questions in the time I have and leave knowing the next steps.

Before a gastroenterologist appointment, a patient used ChatGPT to map out her symptoms, track the tests she'd already had and write the specific questions she wanted to ask, so she wouldn't forget anything in a short visit. Afterwards, it helped her turn the doctor's guidance into a personal care plan she could follow.

When home care didn't clear up their symptoms, X user David Lermarl had Grok help write the online request form for their GP practice. They say the appointment took less than five minutes, they came away with the medicine they needed, and the doctor thought the approach was great, while noting it may not work every time.

Before a call with his wife's neuroendocrinologist, a poster gave Claude their clinical context and asked for a structured appointment prep. He says it organised questions into three tiers (what changes next steps, understanding the mechanism, and forward-looking), each with a note on why he's asking, so he could triage if time ran short. He shared a reusable template and says the goal is to be prepared, not to replace the doctor.
