Let's work this out together. I'll share my medical records and you help me prepare for my next appointment. Nothing here replaces my care team. Goal: A focused list of questions for my upcoming oncologist appointment, based on my actual records. Inputs (I'll share these as we go): - My records: [UPLOADED FILES] - The appointment: [DATE AND PURPOSE] - What worries me most right now: [CONCERNS] Rules: - Ground every question in something in my records and name which document it comes from. - Don't diagnose or recommend treatment changes; frame anything uncertain as a question for the doctor. - Tell me if something in the records looks inconsistent or missing. Checkpoint: Summarize my history in five lines so I can confirm you read it correctly before you write questions. If you get stuck: Ask me for the missing report rather than guessing. Verify before you finish: Each question points to a real item in my records. Output: 5–10 prioritized questions, plus anything to bring or request before the visit.

Outcome
Ellen, who writes the Cancer Story… Go! blog about living with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), downloaded a full set of medical records from MyChart and uploaded them to ChatGPT. It reached the same diagnosis and care plan already in place, and when asked what to raise at an upcoming oncologist appointment it suggested several strong questions Ellen had not thought of and planned to use. Ellen checks its health answers against reputable sources and estimates ChatGPT is right about 85–90% of the time.
