IDK I got really sick in a foreign country, I wasn't sure how to get to the hospital and I was alone in a hotel room. I don't really know how using chatgpt to help me isn't actualizing.

We used to have Google search and Google maps which solved this problem of finding information about symptoms and finding medical centers near you.
