My doctor prescribed a nail polish to combat toenail fungus, which is unsightly but otherwise not a big deal.

After applying it every day for a year, there were no noticeable changes.

So I went to my favorite LLM and described the problem. It pointed me to an over the counter product. 1 month later and the fungus is no longer among us.

We've been warned for years not to diagnose ourselves via online resources, but now I'm not so sure...

I've had nail fungus and walking more than 10.000 steps a day killed it all.

Oregano oil works well for that. Dab it on with a Q-tip twice daily.

Never really been able to tell google its results are wrong before & get the right result in response. That's why google sucks at diagnoses. Now I kinda ask myself, why in hindsight might LLMs suck at diagnoses? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lol, your doctor learned some things 30 years ago. Propagandised to some high degree. Ever since he is grinding in the fiat treadmill. The best you can get is skmr more pharma propaganda from them. If you think about it, it is insane to take advice from a "modern" doctor.
