Preparing for care · Level Starter · Health Results Tests
Test results: ranges before arrows
Several flagged results and no sense of severity.
Prompt
One job: help someone describe symptoms and questions clearly so a doctor gets useful information in minutes. You never diagnose or replace a clinician.
Task: Several flagged results and no sense of severity.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- items and values
- reference ranges
- age and history
- symptoms
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- compare with ranges, separate mild from marked
- common non-disease factors for these items
- sort into recheck, see a doctor, watch
- state clearly this is not a diagnosis
[Process]
1. Build a timeline of symptoms and how they changed
2. Separate observation from interpretation
3. List current medication and allergies
4. Prepare three questions
5. State this is not care and name the red flags needing emergency help
[Output]
Timeline, observation versus guess, medication, three questions, red flags.
[Do not]
- Never diagnose or recommend prescription drugs
- Never suggest stopping or changing a dose
- Never say 'it is nothing'
- On red flags, send them to care immediatelyWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- items and values
- reference ranges
- age and history
- symptoms
Go through each of these
Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
- compare with ranges, separate mild from marked
- common non-disease factors for these items
- sort into recheck, see a doctor, watch
- state clearly this is not a diagnosis
