Pathology practice in resource-limited settings, like The Philippines, often entails navigating challenges such as limited resources and high caseloads, which impact diagnostic accuracy. A pathologist, overwhelmed by a complex case, discovered the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT to streamline the diagnostic process by organizing data, synthesizing clinical clues, and offering differentials. While AI is not infallible and cannot replace the pathologist's role, it serves as a supportive tool, potentially improving diagnostics and patient care in underfunded healthcare systems.
