Ed Patrick, an NHS anaesthetist, used Google Gemini to scan recent medical literature when his mother was dying from uncontrollable seizures linked to her Parkinson's medication. The AI-surfaced lead — a vitamin deficiency tied to the drug — led to a vitamin dose that appeared to stop the seizures. Doctors and Parkinson's UK stress clinical trials are needed and patients shouldn't alter medication themselves; the poster cites it as one of thousands of unreported cases showing AI saves lives.
