Carmen Geiss Recovering After Brain Surgery Flagged by ChatGPT

An AI prompt from her daughter led to a hospital visit where doctors removed an approximately 10‑centimetre brain hematoma.

Overview

  • After a fall, Geiss endured days of dizziness and headaches but initially avoided seeing a doctor.
  • Daughter Davina entered the symptoms into ChatGPT, which suggested a likely brain hematoma and persuaded her to seek medical care.
  • At LMU Klinikum in Munich, imaging confirmed the diagnosis and surgeons removed the hematoma, with media reports saying the procedure under Prof. Dr. Florian Ringel proceeded without complications.
  • Geiss has been discharged and says she now has a cranial plate with five screws, sharing updates and humor on Instagram.
  • The family credits Davina and the AI tool with prompting timely care that reports say averted a potentially life‑threatening situation, following a stressful summer that included the Saint‑Tropez home invasion.
