# Illinois Nurse Claims Doctors and Nurses Are Using AI to Help Treat Patients: ‘This Is the First Time I’ve Seen This’ > Source: > Published: 2026-08-21 18:00:00+00:00 An [Illinois](https://thenerdstash.com/tag/illinois/)-based nurse says the hospital floor she works on looks nothing like it did even a year ago, and the difference comes down to a chatbot. In a video gaining traction online, TikTok user @Chenedyy lays out three separate moments that convinced her AI has fully arrived in clinical medicine. *“AI is officially in healthcare. It’s officially in the hospitals,”* she says in the video, adding that new doctors and nurses are about to become *“the most reliant clinicians on AI that the world has ever seen before.”* According to the nurse, artificial intelligence is now built directly into the electronic health record system she charts on daily. *“It can summarize any notes. It can create notes. It can do deep dives for you,”* she says, explaining that the tool is capable of pulling together longer patient histories on request. She adds that the feature is new on the nursing side specifically: *“I don’t have that charting, but on the nurse’s side, this is the first time I’ve seen this.”* She also describes a recent visit with a new primary care provider, who asked permission to record their appointment so AI could transcribe it into her chart. *“She asked me… if she could record our session using AI to get it transcribed in the chart,”* the nurse recalls, saying she agreed rather than disrupt the visit: *“I’m not trying to *expletive* up the workflow here.”* In a third example from her time as an Illinois rapid response nurse, she recalls a physician using Google’s AI summary to confirm that prednisone can cause hypotension, essentially Googling a clinical fact and treating the result as validation, which the nurse called *“confirmation bias.”* In a separate incident, another nurse ran a patient-care question past her, then compared her answer to a chatbot’s. *“Wow, that’s what Chat said too,”* he told her. When she asked why he was using AI for nursing questions instead of *“ask[ing] someone,”* he replied, *“I use Chat for everything.”* **Internet Reacts to Illinois Nurse’s AI Healthcare Claims** The comments underneath the video leaned skeptical, and in some cases alarmed. One commenter wrote, *“This is gonna be used to deny people health insurance I can just see it,”* while another called AI in medicine *“a public health crisis”* outright. Others pushed back on how reliable the technology actually is, with one person writing, *“AI is just not as sophisticated as people think it is.”* A few reactions leaned toward dark humor, including *“We’re gonna die”* and *“As wrong as AI is, this is scary,” *while one commenter asked, half-jokingly, *“So ATP I should just Google my symptoms?”* The video is gaining attention because it captures something many patients haven’t clocked yet: AI is no longer confined to research settings or optional pilot programs; it’s already routed through daily hospital workflows.
