## What Jamie wrote

Interesting real-world learnings productively using ChatGPT in an ER scenario, but probably not for what you are thinking.

> Since this incident, I’ve taken to using ChatGPT to help empathically explain specific medical scenarios to patients and their loved ones. It’s become an invaluable resource for the frequent situations where my ER ward is too busy or short-staffed for explaining complex medical diagnoses in a way that is accurate but easy to understand.

Using ChatGPT as a bridge between the hurried expert Doctor and the family that needs it explained in simpler terms, with more patience. Interesting use cases.
