- Paste the prompt below into ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.
- Read the plain-language explanation to prepare informed questions for your licensed attending doctor.

First remove your name, address, birth date, patient IDs, QR/barcodes, and other identifying details.
Help me understand the terminology in the information below and prepare questions for a qualified clinician or pharmacist. Do not diagnose, prescribe, recommend doses, or tell me to start, stop, or switch a medicine.
Before I paste anything, remind me to remove my name, address, birth date, patient IDs, QR/barcodes, and other identifying details. Ask only for information needed to explain the terms.
Information: [de-identified report text or medicine information]
Units and laboratory reference ranges, if relevant: [exact text]
What I want explained: [question]
Preserve units and ranges exactly. Explain unfamiliar terms in plain language and distinguish general background from conclusions that require clinical history and professional assessment. An isolated result is not a diagnosis.
For a medicine-price question, use only supplied or specifically sourced product, strength, dosage-form, pack-size, location, and price information. Do not invent a savings percentage or assume that matching names prove interchangeability. List questions for the pharmacist instead.
Finish with a short appointment-question list and what remains uncertain. When the information suggests an urgent concern, direct me to appropriate professional help rather than delaying care with further AI interpretation.See a sample result
Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.
Input: A de-identified lab line with its exact unit and laboratory reference range. Output: Explains the term in plain language, preserves the unit and range, avoids a diagnosis, and lists questions for the clinician. Missing units or ranges remain unknown.
Before you use it: This guide is educational only. Do not change a medicine or dose from an AI answer; ask a qualified clinician or pharmacist, and seek appropriate urgent help when needed.
Philippine notes
- A medicine comparison needs the exact product, strength, dosage form, pack size, location, date, and comparison basis. Matching names alone do not prove interchangeability or savings.
