Doctors were going to face a big challenge in the future from Artificial Intelligence. Chat GPT and Grog were even writing scripts. A number of patients were approaching doctors with information given by AI and this number was going to increase in the future. Doctors would have to handle such patients carefully, he said, adding that 50 percent of diseases could be cured if doctors interacted with patients in a proper way, with mercy and sympathy.

“When I was child, my mother wanted me to become a doctor. BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao used to tell me that doctors should work with a commitment to save lives of people by setting aside personal life and priorities,” Rama Rao recalled.
