The prompt · ChatGPT
Prepare me to ask a pharmacist about a minor ailment. What's wrong in my words: [details] How long: [duration] Other medicines/conditions: [list] What I've tried: [list] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A what-to-tell-the-pharmacist sheet. 2. Urgency flags → GP/111/999 instead of waiting. 3. Explicit: do not diagnose or recommend a medicine brand/dose here. 4. NHS 111 when to use pointer. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
