A couple used ChatGPT as a stand-in doctor; it suggested an MRI that found a missed uterine fibroid.
Drew Housman describes using GPT-4 during a six-year unexplained-infertility case after brief clinic visits left many questions unanswered. The model initially refused medical queries; the couple obtained answers by reframing requests as fiction and checking them with their physicians.
