Florida man sues OpenAI after ChatGPT told him to skip the hospital, nearly died from blood clots

佛州男子因相信 ChatGPT 拒绝就医而险些丧命，起诉 OpenAI 及 CEO 奥尔特曼

A 55-year-old former pastor used GPT-4o for dizziness and blood pressure issues. ChatGPT initially advised seeing a doctor but later self-diagnosed and told him to stay on the recliner. In July 2025 he landed in the ICU with massive bilateral pulmonary embolisms; doctors linked the clots to prolonged inactivity. He is suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for negligence and practicing medicine without a license, seeking damages and a halt to ChatGPT Health. OpenAI says ChatGPT is not a doctor and notes the older model he used is worse at flagging uncertainty and the need for professional care.

Why it matters: Strong H and R from the dramatic conflict, but the post is a case recap with no new data or mechanism, so K is absent. Lands at 78, the featured threshold.
