    He went to ChatGPT saying he was dizzy and later ended up having blood clots in his lungs.

    I hate to say it but most likely a real doctor wouldn’t be liable either. Dizziness is such a vague symptom.

      A real doctor’s office takes a full set of vitals before even looking at you.

      A real doctor’s office does a full set of SAMPLE and OPQRST questions that would probably have revealed more information.

      And more importantly. A REAL DOCTOR’S OFFICE CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MALPRACTICE.

        Maybe it’s time for the real doctors office to open up a service where people can describe their symptoms to them, and get a real doctor’s diagnosis, as that is apparently so desired of a service that people keep asking not-a-real doctor instead.

        Or it might be because people can’t afford the real doctor’s office, and so their options are debt, death, or gambling with the available free solutions.
