Man ‘saved’ by rare kidney disease diagnosis from ChatGPT shares his story

Will artificial intelligence (AI) put professionals out of work?
A man’s recent statement once again raises the question!

What happened?

A man recently shared online that the AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT diagnosed his illness and, in doing so, saved his life.
The netizen claimed that the AI-powered chatbot was able to detect his illness after he felt sick after a workout. What “impressed” the man the most was that ChatGPT did it even before the doctors, and thus saved his kidneys from being seriously affected.
The man in question took to Reddit to share his unique experience.
He said: “ChatGPT saved my life. About a week ago I decided to do a workout, something I didn’t think would be too intense, but I woke up with the Feels like you’ve been hit by a bus.” He revealed that although he only did a few push-ups, squats and planks, his coffee intake was high and he was dehydrated. As he continued to feel unwell for two more days, he became curious about his symptoms and decided to seek help from ChatGPT.

The rest:

Once the man entered all the symptoms he was experiencing, according to his statement, the chatbot processed that date and asked him to immediately see a doctor at a hospital because it diagnosed him with “moderate to severe rhabdomyolysis.” .
Granted, the Reddit user did some more research and was convinced that ChatGPT was indeed right.
After he was pretty sure he was suffering from something serious, he went to the hospital. As he revealed: “They did some lab work and it turned out I had developed severe rhabdomyolysis, basically when your muscles deteriorate quickly and proteins can clog your kidneys.”
The Reddit man revealed that he was immediately admitted to the hospital and spent a week in the hospital under guard.
However, he didn’t stop there. He revealed: “I also used ChatGPT to analyze my lab results, which was comparable to what the medical team said. I knew what was happening before the doctor even told me what was happening thanks to the analysis conducted by ChatGPT.”

What is rhabdomyolysis?

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but serious condition that occurs when muscle cells break down and release their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to organ damage, kidney failure, and even death if left untreated.
Rhabdomyolysis, also known as “rhabdo,” can cause muscle pain, weakness, and dark urine. Other symptoms include:
Muscle pain: Pain that seems out of proportion to the exercise or injury
Muscle stiffness: Decreased range of motion
Swelling: Swelling of the arms and legs
Urine: Dark red, cola-colored, or brown urine, or very little or no urine
Fatigue: Extreme fatigue and/or weakness
Apart from this, nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion and fever are some signs of this rare disease. Rhabdo symptoms can mimic other conditions like heat cramps and dehydration.
Although AI can analyze and learn from this data, patterns and correlations that may go unnoticed by the human eye can be detected and improve functionality with each passing day, it is not advisable to rely solely on AI diagnoses in the event of a sensitive problem such as health. Any decision on this matter should be made after careful consultation with a healthcare professional.
