Prompt Improved prompt

Improved prompt: strengthened by us to avoid the problem in the source. Not tested by the poster. It doesn't change what happened in the source.

Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Help me book a doctor's appointment, and hand it to me as soon as a block or captcha appears.

Quick check first: Which clinic or doctor, what's the appointment for, and when are you free?

What I need from you:
- Clinic or doctor name, or your area and insurance ([CLINIC / AREA])
- Reason for the visit and preferred times
- Your details for the booking (you'll enter anything sensitive yourself)

Rules:
- Find the clinic's online booking page or phone number first.
- If you hit a captcha, a block or a login, stop straight away and give me the direct link and where you got to. Don't keep retrying.
- If online booking isn't possible, give me the phone number, opening hours and a short script for the call.
- Don't enter insurance or medical details. I'll do that.

Output: A booked appointment, or a direct booking link or phone number with the next available times and a call script.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you have an appointment, or can book one in a single step yourself.
