The son asked Gemini one question. His mother was saved.

Edward Patrick, an NHS anesthesiologist, used Google's AI tool Gemini to help his mother, Anne Patrick, who suffered from severe seizures unresponsive to medication. Gemini helped focus on the possibility of a vitamin B6 deficiency, and the medical team administered an infusion that stopped the seizures within minutes.

Edward Patrick, an anesthesiologist with the UK's National Health Service (NHS), used Google's Gemini artificial intelligence tool to assist his mother, Anne Patrick, who was experiencing severe seizures that did not respond to medication. Anne, in her late 70s and living with Parkinson's disease, was hospitalized at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. Her condition was complicated by muscle and kidney damage. On his way to the hospital, Edward received a text from his brother suggesting a possible vitamin deficiency. Edward entered his mother's medical details into Gemini, and the tool helped focus on the possibility of a vitamin B6 deficiency, a rare but known complication of certain Parkinson's medications. The medical team administered intravenous vitamin B6, and the seizures stopped within minutes. Doctors emphasized that this is a rare phenomenon and that artificial intelligence does not replace medical diagnosis.
