AI Saves Life: Doctors sent a man writhing in pain home, but AI detected his illness; find out how his life was saved..

A surprising case has emerged demonstrating how AI can be helpful in the medical field. Recently, a patient claimed that his life was saved by the AI ​​chatbot Grok. Grok is a chatbot developed by billionaire Elon Musk's company, xAI. Elon Musk himself shared Grok's remarkable feat on X (formerly Twitter). Let's find out how the AI ​​chatbot saved this patient's life.

A 49-year-old man suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain and rushed to the hospital. The doctor told him that the pain was simply due to gas and prescribed some medication, sending him home. However, the pain did not subside after taking the medication, and it worsened several hours later. After about 24 hours, he described his symptoms to the Grok AI chatbot.

AI provided life-saving advice.
Grok AI told the man that the abdominal pain was not ordinary. The AI ​​suggested that it could be due to an inflamed appendix or even a ruptured appendix. Grok AI advised the man to get a CT scan immediately. He then went back to the hospital and urged the doctors to perform a CT scan. When the CT scan results came back, they revealed that his appendix was on the verge of rupturing and required immediate surgery. The doctors successfully removed the appendix six hours later. Upon regaining consciousness, the patient said he felt completely pain-free for the first time in years. Elon Musk, the owner of xAI, himself shared this post on X, calling it remarkable.

Patient concealed AI's advice.
Interestingly, the patient did not tell the doctors that the advice to get a CT scan came from Grok. He told the doctors that his sister, a nurse, had advised him to get the scan. He did this to ensure that the doctors wouldn't disregard the AI's advice. The post went viral on social media.
As the story spread, people commented that Grok AI had proven that AI can detect things that doctors miss. Many users even said, "If it leads to better treatment, we would welcome AI doctors."

Elon Musk has long claimed that AI can bring about a major transformation in the medical field. Following this incident, many believe that the era of AI-based healthcare may have already begun.
