AI Saved Her Life From Addison's | Sheffield News
Description
A woman vacationing in Spain noticed her skin turning unnaturally dark and felt dizzy, short of breath, and sick—doctors blamed anxiety, but she didn’t buy it. After typing her symptoms into ChatGPT, the AI suggested Addison’s disease, a rare adrenal disorder that can cause fatal crises. She took the advice to her doctor, who ordered tests—and just days later, she collapsed at home. Rushed to the hospital, she was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, narrowly avoiding death. Now on 11 daily pills, she’s in rehab, unable to walk, as her skin darkens further—a stark reminder of how AI can sometimes save lives when human medicine falls short.
