That’s a really valid concern, especially for something like post-surgical recovery where consistency actually matters.
This can happen because small changes in phrasing can shift how the model interprets intent, especially for complex domains like medical recovery.
A few things that usually help improve consistency:
* Use a fixed structure in your prompt (e.g., “Always respond with sections: Overview, Timeline, Risks, Care Tips”)
* Set expectations explicitly (e.g., “Be detailed, structured, and avoid generalizations”)
* Provide a reference example of the exact format you want
* Keep key constraints repeated across prompts instead of relying on prior context
* Use system instructions to lock behavior (e.g., “You are a medical information assistant that provides structured recovery guidance in consistent sections”)
For sensitive topics like post-surgical care, it also helps to anchor the scope (e.g., “focus on general recovery patterns, not personalized medical advice”) so the model doesn’t shift tone or depth.
