About a week ago I decided to do a workout, something I didn’t think was too intense, but I woke up feeling like I got hit a bus,” he said, adding that even though he only did a few pushups, squats and planks, his coffee intake was high and he was dehydrated. After he continued to feel unwell for two more days, he became curious about his symptoms and decided to seek ChatGPT’s help. Rare-kidney diseaseThe chatbot processed his symptoms and asked him to immediately seek medical help at a hospital as it diagnosed him with “moderate to severe Rhabdomyolysis”. After a few more searches, he was convinced that the chatbot was correct and went to a hospital. “They performed lab work and it turned out that I had developed severe Rhabdomyolysis, essentially when your muscles breaks down rapidly and the proteins can clog your kidneys,” he said. Rhabdomyolysis is a rare muscle injury where your muscles break down after an injury or excessive exercise without rest. The man was immediately hospitalised for the life threatening condition and spent a week in the hospital being monitored. “I also used ChatGPT to analyse my lab results, which was on par with what the medical team was saying. I knew what was going on before I was even told the doctor what was going on due to the analysis conducted ChatGPT,” he revealed.
