In Utah, an AI is now legally authorizing and signing prescription renewals without a human doctor in the loop. Welcome to a new era in medicine. In this video, we look at Doctronic.ai—a multi-agent AI system that claims to perform at the level of a board-certified physician in urgent care scenarios, with zero clinical hallucinations. Is it actually safe, or is it just a liability trap waiting to happen? More importantly, is this a tool designed to cure your burnout, or is it a direct competitor for low acuity visits? We put Doctronic through the SpeakMD framework to answer the four practical questions that actually matter to working physicians: 1. Does it work? (Looking at the actual medRxiv data and their multi-agent architecture). 2. Will I get paid? (How it impacts Fee-for-Service vs. the new $39 AI gig economy). 3. Will I get sued? (Deconstructing their "AI Malpractice" insurance and the Utah legal sandbox). 4. How does it fit into a real practice? (Is this what patients want?). If you want to understand how these tools actually impact your liability, your workflow, and your paycheck, you're in the right place. 👇 **Timestamps** 0:00 - The Autonomous Threshold (It's Already Here) 2:25 - What is Doctronic AI?

The "Stack of Shame" is a real thing. Whether it’s the physical pile of medical journals on your desk or the folder on your desktop titled "To Read," we’re all drowning in a medical literature explosion that doubles every 78 days. In this video, I’m breaking down how I’ve changed my approach to staying current using Google’s NotebookLM. We’re moving away from passive, linear reading and moving toward actively investigating papers. I’ll show you how I use this free tool to turn dense clinical guidelines into: * An AI-generated podcast for my morning commute. * Active recall quizzes for board prep or resident teaching. * Simplified patient handouts (that still need a doctor's eyes, of course). - Ajay **Timestamps:** 0:00 - The Stack of Shame 1:20 - A new way to learn 2:40 - What is NotebookLM? 3:49 - Demonstration of How it works: 5:54 - The "Killer App": Turning journals into podcasts 8:40 - Using AI for Active Recall & Quizzes 10:27 - What is the Cost?

In this video, I do a deep dive into OpenEvidence, the AI-driven clinical tool that recently hit a $6 Billion valuation.

And can you actually trust it with patient care?
