I'm not following this story..

a friend sent me MRI brain scan results and I put it through Claude

...

I annoyed the radiologists until they re-checked.

How was he in a position to annoy his friend's radiologists?

I think it's being framed wrongly for the narrative by the guy posting the screenshot.

A friend sent me MRI brain scan results

Without more context I have to assume guy was still convinced of his brain tumor, knew a friend who knew and talked about Claude, had said friend run results through Claude and told guy who's brain was scanned that Claude gave a positive result, and friend went to multiple doctors for a second, third, fourth opinion.

In America we have to advocate hard when there is an ongoing, still unsolved issue, and that includes using all tools at your disposal.
