A mom's post is breaking the internet right now. The post talks about AI detected her daughter's fracture even after hospitals denied it.

AJ Kay, has posted on X how Grok diagnosed her daughter's fracture and saved her from a surgery. The mom says she took help from Grok "remembering a post from a few weeks ago by

@elonmusk that Grok2 could read medical images, I uploaded the wrist X-ray to Grok and asked if there were any abnormalities."

In a long post, the dad says his daughter was in a bad car accident a week before and her arm was hurting badly.

"Well, ofc she didn’t sleep and by 6am, I was convinced it was broken. The way she was favoring it and the amount of pain she was in indicated more than soft tissue injury. So we got to Urgent Care and they examined her and took some x-rays. Both the doctor who saw her and the radiologist declared her free of breaks and, after answering some of our questions, sent her home with an ace wrap and ibuprofen. On the way out, I asked them to please print out the X-ray images for us so I could take them to her PCP," she writes. She mentions that her hands kept going cold and she could not move her thumb.

It was then she decided to start his own research. After uploading the X-ray, Grok found a "clear fracture line in the distal radius" and confirmed it to be a fracture line not a fused growth plate (that doctors had told him earlier).

"Long story short, we went to PCP, got a referral to the ortho, and the next day the wrist specialist took new x-rays (multiple views), examined her, and confirmed Grok’s diagnosis of a distal radial head fracture with dorsal displacement," he writes.

The post has received mixed reactions over social media.

One user writes: I agree that UC missed the fracture, and that history plus daughter's signs and symptoms were very consistent with fracture.

However, I want to push back on the ortho's opinion was independent bit. I think telling the Grok story wouldn't have changed how the ortho doctor viewed the films. While I think it's more likely that ortho would have diagnosed it correctly, the second doctor always has more information. More hours or days of symptoms, physical signs worsening or improving, what worked, what didn't work, and test results, either negative or positive. So, often, it's not that the first team missed it or messed up. They had less information.

But, again, this case isn't one of those times. Please make sure you let them know. They need to review her case and films.

"This is pretty wild. All I have to add is, the competency crisis is real and getting worse. Getting a second opinion from doctors is now my default setting, writes another.

"Amazing that Grok was so confident in the diagnosis. Every time I ask her a question she starts her answer with: "This issue is multifaceted and highly nuanced...," writes a third user.


Elon Musk 's announcement
On January 3, 2025 Elon Musk posted X that Grok can now analyse medical images to video games. "You can upload any image to Grok for analysis, from medical tests to video games! Just tap the + button or paste the image into the entry bar," he posted on X.

Grok, in partnership with Black Forest Labs, is capable of generating images using the Flux 1 model. However, according to the chatbot’s guidelines, free users are limited to asking up to 10 questions every two hours, with a daily cap of three image analyses and four image generations.

Grok was first launched by Elon Musk's xAI in 2023 and was later integrated with X (formerly Twitter).
