Plan a hospital appointment day so nothing gets forgotten
Hospital days are stressful and the questions vanish once you're in the room. Get a timed day, a bag list and your questions ready.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan a hospital appointment day. Appointment: [e.g. outpatients, scan, day surgery] Date, time and hospital: [details] How I'm getting there: [e.g. driving, bus, lift] Who's coming with me: [name, or nobody] What I'm worried about: [anything] What I want to find out: [anything] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A timeline for the day: when to leave, with a buffer. Tell me to check the hospital's website or letter for parking, drop-off and where to go. 2. A bag list (letter, medication list, phone charger, snacks and so on). 3. My questions, grouped into before, during and after, with the most important first. 4. A simple template for notes during the appointment, so someone else can write them down. 5. A plan for afterwards: getting home, who to tell, what to watch for, and when to chase results. I'm not asking for medical advice; tell me to check anything medical with the hospital team. If anything feels urgent, remind me to call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
