📰 News we're reading

• Feeling sick? More people are asking AI what to do (myjournalcourier.com) — A growing number of patients are turning to AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot to interpret symptoms, understand test results, and even challenge insurance denials, and one Woodbury resident credits AI with pushing her to seek eye care and overturn a $5,000 bill. Minnesota doctors and researchers say these tools can empower patients but warn about privacy risks, misdiagnosis, and the danger of delaying necessary in‑person care.
   

• Cardiac response plans on to-do list for Minnesota schools (statenews.net) — Minnesota schools are rolling out new Cardiac Emergency Response Plans this year, and Woodbury parent Kelly Youland is helping lead the charge after her young daughter survived cardiac arrest. She's pushing for broad CPR training, quick access to AEDs, and eventually mandatory CPR certification for coaches, arguing that fast, practiced responses can dramatically improve survival when a student or staff member's heart suddenly stops.
