> to communicate with doctors effectively

Did the doctors agree? I never thought of AI as a good patient navigator, but maybe that’s its proper role in healthcare.

Like anything, it is a tool; someone using WebMD badly, and someone can use it well.

I have found it helpful as I can ask ChatGPT questions, teach myself about what I am dealing with, and understand it better so I can ask my doctor questions. I still verify a lot, I still read articles on verified medical sites, etc., but it helps me do that a lot quicker, and I seem to learn quicker.

I'm sure someone can also go deep into anxiety with it as well if they approach it that way. It isn't a miracle button, but it is an AMAZING tool IME.
