Incident 1695: AI Medical Scribe Reportedly Added False Psychedelic-Mushroom Use Claim to Australian Patient Rebecca Green's Medical Record

Description: Australian patient Rebecca Green reportedly discovered that a post-operative letter sent by her urologist to her GP falsely said she micro-dosed psychedelic mushrooms and suggested this could explain prior kidney bleeding. Green had reportedly consented to an AI scribe during her first urology appointment and feared the false record could affect her workers' compensation case. Her urologist reportedly apologized, corrected the letter, and said the error appeared to arise during dictation or transcription.
Editor Notes: The date of Green's initial AI-transcribed appointment is not yet known from public reporting. 03/01/2026 is used as a month-level fallback because she reportedly discovered the erroneous correspondence after kidney-stone surgery in March 2026. She reportedly later complained, after which her urologist apologized and corrected the record; exact dates for the complaint and correction were not reported. The incident ID was created 09/18/2026.

Variants

A "variant" is an AI incident similar to a known case—it has the same causes, harms, and AI system. Instead of listing it separately, we group it under the first reported incident. Unlike other incidents, variants do not need to have been reported outside the AIID. Learn more from the research paper.
