Rural OPD is not just medicine - it is crowd management, crisis control, counselling, documentation, and decision-making under pressure. One doctor. One smartphone. Hundreds of patients. AI in Rural OPD: A Survival Handbook for Doctors is a practical, story-driven guide that shows how Artificial Intelligence can support MBBS doctors working in rural PHC and CHC settings without replacing clinical judgement or crossing ethical boundaries. Built on real-life scenarios from rural India, the book demonstrates how AI can help simplify paediatric dosing, organise confusing reports, assist with ECG and radiology pattern recognition, improve counselling, manage NCD follow-ups, and reduce cognitive overload in overcrowded OPDs. It also clearly defines when AI should not be used, making patient safety and medico-legal responsibility central to its approach. Written in a relatable, lightly humorous style and designed to work with just a smartphone, this handbook turns AI into a calm second brain for the overworked rural doctor. Practical. Honest. Grounded in reality. A must-read for every doctor navigating the challenges of rural healthcare in India.
