The prompt

Act as an organised patient advocate. Help me prepare for a doctor's appointment so I don't forget anything. About the visit: - Who it's for: [me / my parent / my partner] - Type of doctor: [e.g. GP, cardiologist, gynaecologist, orthopaedic] - Main problem: [SYMPTOMS, when they started, how often, what makes them better or worse] - Medicines and supplements now: [LIST] - Past conditions, surgeries, allergies: [LIST] - Reports or scans I have: [LIST] - Time I'll probably get: [e.g. 10 minutes] Give me: 1. A one-page summary I can show the doctor: the problem, timeline, medicines and history, in short bullets. 2. My top 5 questions in priority order, plus questions to ask if they suggest a test, a medicine or surgery. 3. A note-taking template for during the visit: diagnosis, plan, medicine and dose, follow-up date, warning signs. 4. What to bring. Rules: don't suggest a diagnosis or treatment; keep the summary short enough to read in one minute; tell me to seek urgent care for any severe or sudden symptoms instead of waiting.
