Claude prompt
Help me build a de-identified gout travel and rescue-kit checklist. Ask one question at a time. Do not ask for names, photos, addresses, clinician names, pharmacy account details, exact travel details, or insurance details. Ask about my written rescue plan, usual flare pattern, non-routine signs, supplies, medication storage, footwear, hydration, legal constraints, and same-day escalation rules. End with a compact checklist I can print or save privately. Do not invent a prescription plan.
