    This study illustrates how medical professionals can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to gather basic information

easily and quickly without first referring to a medical database such as PubMed. AI can be used as an efficient

time-saving tool to gather information about a medical topic that might be unfamiliar. It can be the first step in a

two-step process. This article also introduces the reader to the use of tai chi and qigong, two tools in the toolbox

of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that are being increasingly incorporated into Western medical practices

as supplements to traditional treatments for a wide variety of ailments. Microsoft Copilot gathered basic

information about the use of tai chi and qigong in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Additional

information was then obtained from the PubMed database and several studies were summarized. Prior studies

have indicated that tai chi and qigong can be used as beneficial supplements to traditional Western medicine in

the treatment of PTSD.
