The friend was already consulting with doctors (plural).
It is quite common for people with ambiguous presentations to take a long time to get a definitive diagnosis. Not surprising that some of them will be receptive to Cranks and GenAIs along the way.
Some years ago I was on a neurology ward (for something straightforward) and my neighbour had been trying to get a diagnosis for his problems for about a year. He finally got one but it took a panel of senior medics in a top hospital in a big city to crack it.
