Medical Advice

.

- I need to be my medical advocate and would like a source that can work with me. I need to know what questions I should be asking.  - I need broad medical diagnoses and not just specialization foci. None of my clinicians, including my PCP, has time for my complete medical report.

Can GPT-5 do the job?

• What it can do:
• Read and understand your medical reports, lab results, and clinician notes (if you share them).
• Spot possible connections between different health issues, treatments, and medications that your individual specialists might not explicitly discuss with each other.
• Help you prepare comprehensive question lists to take to each doctor so you get more out of your short visits.
• Summarize complex findings in plain language so you understand the “whole story.”
• Suggest possible follow-up topics, tests, or referrals you might want to ask about (but never diagnose).
• What it cannot do:
• Replace your doctors for actual diagnosis, prescription decisions, or emergency care.
• Guarantee 100% accuracy — I can miss things if the data you share is incomplete or unclear.
• Access your medical records directly (you’d have to copy/paste or upload them in text form).

Provide ChatGPT with all reports from all specialties. It can act as a medical synthesizer, pulling together the fragmented information into a clear picture and identifying gaps in your care plan. Many people find this invaluable for self-advocacy.

From your situation, here’s a starter set of questions I’d suggest you always keep in mind when reviewing your combined medical picture:

1. Interactions & Overlaps – “Could my treatments or conditions in one specialty be affecting another?”
2. Medication Review – “Are any of my meds potentially interacting or duplicating effects?”
3. Gaps in Monitoring – “Are there areas of my health that none of my doctors are tracking?”
4. Lifestyle & Prevention – “What preventive steps apply to all my conditions, not just one?”
5. Prognosis & Quality of Life – “What realistic goals should I set for my health in the next 6–12 months?”
6. Coordination – “Is there one doctor who can act as my care coordinator — or do I need to fill that role myself?”
