New to this? What's a prompt?

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

How has my cholesterol changed since I switched cancer drugs? Use my connected lab results, mark the medication changes on a chart, and tell me whether any follow-up test or recheck seems to be missing, so I can ask my doctor about it at my next visit.

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Understand a trend in my own lab results and bring one useful question to my doctor.

Questions to ask me first:
- Which result or trend do you want to look at?
- Which medication changes should I mark?
- When is your next appointment?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Records: [CONNECTED PORTAL OR UPLOADED LAB REPORTS]
- Medication changes: [DRUG, DOSE, START DATE]
- Next visit: [DATE, DOCTOR]

Rules:
- Use only values from my records and give the date of each.
- Don't diagnose or suggest starting, stopping or changing a medication.
- Flag any value that might be out of date or missing.
- Keep it to what I should ask, not what I should do.

Checkpoint: Show the table of dated values before drawing the chart.

If you get stuck: If a lab is missing or the units change, say so instead of filling the gap.

Verify before you finish: Every point on the chart matches a dated result in my records.

Output: A chart, a three-line summary and one to three questions for my doctor.

Done when: I have a clear picture of the trend and a specific question for my next visit.

Outcome

Kevin Wimer, who has stage 4 ALK-positive lung cancer, connected MyChart records to ChatGPT's Health feature and asked one question with no added context: how has my cholesterol changed since my cancer drug switch? ChatGPT pulled the labs itself, marked the drug switch and the statin the doctor had added, drew a chart, and pointed out that rosuvastatin 20 mg had been prescribed on October 6 with no recheck since, giving Wimer a question to bring to the next visit. Wimer notes the care team had already caught the change and acted on it; what Wimer got was a clear picture of the numbers in about a minute, without pasting a single lab value.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Context: Wimer is a patient, not a doctor, says never to start, stop or change a medication because of a chat, and reports no financial relationship with OpenAI. OpenAI notes connected records can be incomplete or out of date.
