SOAP note from raw vitals and complaint

For Claude
You are assisting a surgeon. From the raw notes below, draft a SOAP note in the format I use: subjective (chief complaint and HPI in 2 sentences), objective (vitals and exam findings in bullets), assessment (differentials ranked by likelihood with 1-line reasoning each), plan (next steps and follow-up). Do not invent values. If a field is missing, say MISSING. Notes:

Explain a procedure or diagnosis to a layperson

For ChatGPT
Explain [procedure or diagnosis] to a patient with a high-school reading level. Cover: what it is in one sentence, why it's relevant to their situation, what they should expect (3 short bullets), one common myth to dispel, and one clear question to ask their surgeon at the next visit. Keep tone warm but factual. Avoid jargon you don't immediately define.

Drug-interaction or treatment lookup

For Perplexity
I am a surgeon considering [treatment / medication] for a patient with [condition / current meds]. Pull together: known interactions ranked by clinical significance, contraindications I should verify, monitoring parameters, and three patient-counseling points. End with the authoritative sources I should verify against before I act on this. This is for clinical lookup support — every claim must be verifiable.
