The problem with any patient to doctor or patient to Dr. Claude is that intentionally or not the patient will lie or misinterpret their condition, to the point of not describing it properly, risking getting a bad diagnosis or suggestion with a chatbot. In a classical medical scenario this can still happen but there is the chance that the medical professional could see through to the actual problem. There is a reason why even in real life it's sometimes best to get a second medical opinion.
