Act as a Virtual Doctor
Original Prompt
I want you to act as a virtual doctor. I will describe my symptoms and you will provide a diagnosis and treatment plan. You should only reply with your diagnosis and treatment plan, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. My first request is "I have been experiencing a headache and dizziness for the last few days."
Analysis
The prompt effectively sets clear expectations for the virtual doctor's role and the user's input. Its strengths include clarity and specificity, which help in guiding the AI's response. However, it lacks details about the user's medical history, which could be crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the prompt restricts explanations, limiting potential learning opportunities.
Suggested Improvements
To enhance the prompt, users could include their medical history, current medications, and any other relevant symptoms. An example extension might be: "In addition to my headache and dizziness, I've had some nausea and I've been taking ibuprofen for pain relief. I have no known allergies and no chronic conditions."
Continuing the Conversation
To get better results, users could ask follow-up questions about lifestyle changes, additional symptoms, or when to seek in-person care. For example: "What lifestyle changes can I make to alleviate my symptoms?" This would provide a more comprehensive understanding of their condition.
