More powerful than a doctor? A foreign boy has suffered from various pains since he was 4 years old, including teeth grinding, uncoordinated walking, and lack of height. He sought help from 17 doctors in 3 years, but still could not find the cause. Finally, he had no choice but to try “ChatGPT” , unexpectedly found the cause of the disease, and the problem was finally solved after the operation.
according to《TODAY》According to reports, Courtney’s son Alex began to feel pain in his body when he was 4 years old and had to take painkillers every day. At first, she thought it was tooth decay and took her to the dentist, but the doctor ruled out everything. Told that Alex might be grinding his teeth and thinking a doctor who specialized in treating airway obstructions could help, an expander was placed in Alex’s upper jaw and the situation improved.
Unexpectedly, Courtney discovered that Alex was no longer growing taller, so she went to seek help from a pediatrician. The doctor believed that it was the negative impact of the new coronavirus epidemic on development. She also found that Alex’s left and right feet were unbalanced. “He would use Walk with your right foot, then drag your left foot.” However, before physical therapy began, Alex developed severe headaches and had to consult a neurologist. He was told that he had migraines, so he was referred to an otolaryngologist to check whether there were any sinus or respiratory problems causing his sleep.

However, no matter how many doctors you see, experts will only solve the problem in their own field. The physical therapist thought Alex had an inferior hernia deformity that would cause brain abnormalities, and Courtney began seeing more doctors, including other pediatricians, pediatric internists, adult internists, and a musculoskeletal doctor, but still nothing. Out of reasons.
Over the past three years, Courtney took Alex to visit 17 different doctors, but no real diagnosis was found. Frustrated, she signed up for ChatGPT and entered relevant symptoms in the hope of getting answers. The result was that Alex was suffering from “spinal cord pull”. “Tetheredcord syndrome” is a neurological disease caused by tissue attachment, which restricts the movement of the spinal cord within the spine, causing abnormal stretching and pain.
Courtney immediately took Alex to the hospital for treatment. A neurosurgeon confirmed the condition and then performed surgery. He is still recovering. In this regard, Andrew Beam, Ph.D. in epidemiology at Harvard University, pointed out that ChatGPT can be a good partner in diagnosis because it may not have blind spots like doctors, but it cannot replace the professional knowledge of clinicians. “ChatGPT sometimes cannot find the patient. Give random answers, but they don’t actually exist.”
