Patients Now Consult ChatGPT Before Their Doctors
Original: When Your Patient Consults ChatGPT Before You
Doctors are increasingly encountering patients who arrive with answers from ChatGPT already in hand. The trend is prompting debate in the medical community: some clinicians worry about misinformation and undermined trust, while others see an opening to improve health literacy and use AI as a conversation starter rather than a threat during consultations.
Why now: Rapid adoption of AI chatbots for health questions is changing the doctor-patient dynamic, making clinicians and patients reassess who they trust for medical advice.
