Prompt 1

Turn My Lab Results Into Plain English

I got blood test results from Dr. Patel’s office yesterday, and I’m nervous because several numbers are marked high or low. Please explain these results in plain English, as if you were talking to a smart 58-year-old who did not go to medical school: total cholesterol 247, LDL cholesterol 164, HDL cholesterol 52, triglycerides 156, fasting glucose 108, and A1C 5.8%. For each number, tell me what it generally measures, whether it is commonly considered high, low, or borderline, and what questions I should ask Dr. Patel at my appointment next Tuesday. Do not diagnose me, and do not tell me to stop or start any medication. Make a short list of symptoms that would mean I should seek urgent medical care rather than wait for my appointment.

Prompt 2

Make a Medication List for My Doctor

My name is Carol Mendez, and I have an appointment with my primary care doctor at Cleveland Clinic next Friday. Please turn this information into a clean one-page medication list I can print and bring with me. I take lisinopril 10 mg every morning for blood pressure, atorvastatin 20 mg every evening for cholesterol, metformin 500 mg with dinner, Tylenol 500 mg about twice a week for knee pain, a daily multivitamin from Costco, vitamin D3 2,000 IU every morning, and melatonin 3 mg three nights a week. I sometimes drink one glass of wine with dinner on Saturday. Organize everything by prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and alcohol. Add a short section called “Questions for My Doctor” with sensible questions about possible interactions, side effects, timing, and whether every item is still necessary. Do not recommend changing or stopping anything.

Prompt 3

Prepare Me for a New Prescription

Dr. Nguyen prescribed me amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day for seven days for a sinus infection. I picked it up at Walgreens this afternoon, but I feel embarrassed asking basic questions. Explain in plain English how people are generally told to take this medicine, what common side effects to watch for, what serious reaction requires urgent help, whether food commonly matters, and what I should ask the Walgreens pharmacist before taking the first dose. I take warfarin for a blood clot history, sertraline for anxiety, and a daily probiotic. I am allergic to sulfa medicines, but I have never had a reaction to penicillin. Do not tell me to change any medicine or give me a personal medical decision. Clearly separate general information from questions I need to confirm with my pharmacist or doctor.

Prompt 4

Turn My Symptoms Into a Doctor’s Note

Please organize my symptoms into a concise note I can send through my doctor’s patient portal. My name is Michael Reed, I am 62, and I have had a dry cough for three weeks. It began after a cold, is worse when I lie down, and sometimes wakes me around 2 a.m. I do not have a fever, but I have mild chest tightness after climbing the stairs to my apartment. I take lisinopril 10 mg daily, atorvastatin 20 mg daily, and no new medicines. I tested negative for COVID-19 last Tuesday. Write the note in a calm, factual tone and ask whether I should be seen this week. Include the dates and details clearly. After the note, give me a short list of information the nurse or doctor may ask for. Do not diagnose me. Also identify symptoms that would require urgent or emergency care instead of waiting for a portal reply.

Prompt 5

Make Questions for My Specialist Appointment

I am Sandra Lewis, 58, and I have my first appointment with a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine on October 22. My primary care doctor referred me because I have been unusually tired for two months and sometimes feel my heart beating fast while sitting in my recliner. My EKG at the family doctor’s office was described as “abnormal,” but I do not know what that means. I have high blood pressure, take lisinopril 10 mg daily, and my father had a heart attack at 61. Create a one-page list of important questions for the cardiologist, grouped under possible causes, tests, treatment choices, risks, and what I should track at home. Include questions about what an abnormal EKG can and cannot show. Use reassuring but realistic language, and do not diagnose me or suggest that I start a treatment. Add a brief list of symptoms that should prompt emergency care before the appointment.

Prompt 6

Explain My Insurance Denial

My health insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield, denied a $486 MRI ordered by Dr. Garcia for my lower back pain. The denial letter arrived in the mail on October 8 and says the MRI was “not medically necessary,” even though I completed six weeks of physical therapy at ATI Physical Therapy and still have numbness down my right leg. I am frustrated and worried about the bill. Write a firm, respectful message to Dr. Garcia’s office asking them to review the denial, tell me whether they will submit additional clinical information or an appeal, and explain what I need to do before the October 29 deadline. Then create a separate short phone script for calling the insurance company. Do not claim that the MRI is definitely covered, and do not invent policy language. Sign the message Carol Mendez.

Prompt 7

Build a Simple Weekly Walking Plan

I am Patricia Gomez, 58, and I want to become more active without overdoing it. I currently walk from my house to the mailbox, about five minutes, three days a week. I have mild knee arthritis, weigh 184 pounds, and feel proud that I quit smoking last year. Create a gentle four-week walking plan that starts where I am and uses realistic time goals, rest days, comfortable shoes, and a simple way to track pain and energy. I would like to walk around the lake at my local park eventually, but I get nervous when my knee hurts. Include a warm-up and cool-down that do not require equipment. Tell me which symptoms mean I should stop and contact my doctor or seek urgent care. Do not promise weight loss or give me a plan that assumes I can exercise through pain.

Prompt 8

Plan Meals Around My Medical Needs

Please plan five simple dinners for me and my husband David using ingredients we can buy at Costco for under $85 total. We are trying to reduce sodium and added sugar because David has high blood pressure and I have an A1C of 5.8%. We both enjoy chicken, salmon, beans, frozen vegetables, oatmeal, and Mexican flavors, but we dislike tofu and very spicy food. Make each dinner serve two people, include approximate portions, and explain how to keep the meals flavorful without relying on salt or sugary sauces. Include a shopping list grouped by produce, meat or fish, canned goods, frozen foods, and pantry items. Do not call this a treatment for either condition, and do not suggest changing prescribed medicine. Add a note about which ingredients we should confirm with our doctors if either of us has kidney disease or another dietary restriction.

Prompt 9

Help Me Sleep Without Guesswork

I am Tom Bennett, 61, and I have been sleeping badly for three weeks. I usually get into bed at 10:30 p.m., fall asleep around midnight, wake up twice to use the bathroom, and feel exhausted at work the next day. I drink two cups of coffee, one at 8 a.m. and one at 3 p.m., and I watch television in bed for about an hour. I take melatonin 5 mg some nights, but I am not sure it helps. Create a realistic seven-day sleep experiment with a bedtime routine, a consistent wake-up time, ideas for handling the television habit, and a simple sleep log. Include questions I should ask my doctor, especially if snoring, breathing pauses, depression, medication side effects, or frequent urination could matter. Do not diagnose me or tell me to take a supplement. List warning signs that should be discussed promptly with a healthcare professional.

Prompt 10

Decide What to Ask Before Urgent Care

My name is Carol Mendez, and I am trying to decide what information to gather before calling my doctor’s office or going to urgent care. Since yesterday afternoon, I have had a sore throat, a temperature of 100.8 degrees, body aches, and trouble swallowing solid food, but I can drink water. I took two Tylenol 500 mg tablets at 6 p.m. and my temperature is now 99.9 degrees. I have no rash, no trouble breathing, and no swelling of my lips or tongue. Create a short checklist of what to monitor tonight, what details to tell the nurse, and questions to ask about testing and treatment. Clearly separate symptoms that can usually wait for a call from symptoms that need urgent or emergency help. Do not diagnose me, do not recommend a prescription, and do not tell me to exceed the label directions for any medicine.
