The Phantom Resident is not a sci-fi novel about the future. It is a survival guide for right now. It introduces you to the "Third Chair" in the room—Artificial Intelligence—and teaches you how to turn it from a generic chatbot into a hyper-specialized clinical partner.
This book will teach you:
Clinical Prompt Engineering: Move beyond basic questions. Learn to command the AI to "Triangulate a Differential Diagnosis," "Simulate a Tough Consultant," or "Summarize a 50-page Guideline."
The Hallucination Protocols: AI lies. Learn the specific safety checks to catch errors before they reach the patient.
The 30-Second Discharge Summary: Turn a pile of messy notes into a professional document instantly, buying you hours of sleep.
Active Recall 2.0: Transform passive textbook reading into high-yield clinical vignettes to crush your professional exams.
You don't need to be a tech genius to use these tools. You just need to be willing to adapt.
The stethoscope gave us ears. The X-Ray gave us eyes. AI gives us a second brain.
Don't face the night shift alone.
