Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

When home care didn't clear up their symptoms, X user David Lermarl had Grok help write the online request form for their GP practice. They say the appointment took less than five minutes, they came away with the medicine they needed, and the doctor thought the approach was great, while noting it may not work every time.

Grok

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Help me fill in my GP's online request form so it's clear, complete and quick for the doctor to act on.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- The questions on the form
- My symptoms, when they started and how they've changed
- What I've already tried and whether it helped
- My current medicines and allergies

This is admin help, not medical advice. Don't diagnose or suggest treatments. If anything I mention sounds urgent, tell me to contact a doctor or emergency services first.

Rules:
- Keep my answers short, factual and in the order the form asks.
- Use my own words for symptoms; don't add symptoms or guess a diagnosis.
- Include start dates, what I've tried and what I'm asking for.
- If anything I describe sounds urgent, tell me to call the practice or emergency services instead of using the form.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: Ready-to-paste answers for each box on the form.

You'll know it worked when: the practice books me in or responds without needing to call me back for missing details.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
