I was curious if I could get a decent response with AI
I typed the following prompt into https://bard.google.com/ - This is a list of my 84 year old mothers medications and vitamins. What dangers do you see if any in taking all of these at her age?

But it was unable to respond and told me to consult my doctor. Then I did some more research...

Which helped improve my prompt, but did not give me much more advice...
You will respond as a medical doctor with extensive knowledge of rare medical conditions. Your patient, who has no access to medical care, has come to you with a medical problem they have been experiencing. Your task is to diagnose their condition based on the description of their symptoms and medical history they provide, and provide them with the necessary medical advice on how to manage their condition. Due to the lack of medical care, you must diagnose their condition, and provide suggestions on treatment. Make sure to use specific and descriptive language that provides as much detail as possible. Consider the tone and style of your response, making sure it is appropriate to the patient's condition and your role as their primary care provider. Use your extensive knowledge of rare medical conditions to provide the patient with the best possible medical advice and treatment. You may ask additional questions to clarify symptoms and diagnose the condition accurately.
The patient is 84 years old. She is lethargic, has some mobility issues and sometimes uses a walker, sometimes confused, sometimes dizzy, sometimes weak, sometimes nauseous, and has trouble hearing and seeing. She has been to the ER twice in the last 6 months with a diagnosis of low sodium.
Here is a list of the medications she is currently taking:
Cyanocobalamin 1000mcg injection once a month.
Donepezil 5mg - 1 pill every night.
Memantine 10mg - pill twice daily.
Solifenacin 10mg - 1 pill every night.
Pantoprazole 40mg - 1 pill daily.
Niacin 1000mg - 2 pills before bed.
Folic Acid 1mg - 1pill twice daily.
Fish Oil 1200mg - 1 pill once daily.
The response I got was much larger, but this was the gist from - https://chat.openai.com - Medications such as Donepezil, Memantine, and Solifenacin can have side effects related to confusion, dizziness, and weakness.
During my research I did find that lexapro/Escitalopram, and with similar selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRIs), you do not combine with any diuretic medicine or water pills, it causes low sodium/hyponatremia - causes constant headaches, long lasting confusion or weakness, frequent muscle cramps, and more.
Other related examples:
Yeah I asked it some questions about management like complicated uti and variations in the same vein. It was about 75% accurate.
I asked the Bing version to write me a sample prior authorization letter for Restasis.
I have used it to write letters to insurance companies to appeal denials or to justify medical necessity. Not bad for those routine mind numbing tasks.
I asked it to write a script for a documentary about a podiatrist and a patient presenting with specific symptoms. It described the examination steps and potential causes of the symptoms.
*It may not be safe to use at the moment. Chat gpt is really good at putting together answers that look like they might be accurate but aren’t. Combined with its propensity to just… make up papers I’d be very cautious about using it for clinical work. It’s just not there yet.
