    This used to be what nurse’s hotlines were for. I feel lucky my current insurance has one, my previous one was like ‘lol figure it out yourself.’

    Also, when I call nurse’s hotlines most of the time the issue I’m worried about needs to be checked by a doctor anyway. I don’t feel confident AI would necessarily tell you there’s not a way you can DIY it.
