The Age of Instant Experts: Are We Bargaining Our Health for Convenience?

Once upon a time, learning was a sacred process, a journey of years under the guidance of gurus, mentors, and real-life experiences. Today, we are in an era where the internet, AI, and D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) marketing can turn anyone into an expert overnight. And the scariest part? This is happening in the field of healthcare.

"No Medical Degree? No Problem!"

An ad flashed on my screen today: "No medical degree? No problem! Become a certified health coach and start earning in six figures a month."

Really? So now, someone with zero medical background, no knowledge of human physiology, pathology, or pharmacology, is all set to guide people on their health? Are we really that desperate for shortcuts? Have we forgotten that health is not a fast-food meal but a slow-cooked process requiring expertise and ethics?

DIY Babies: No Time for Love, Try Self-Insemination!

Another gem from the digital bazaar: "Don’t have time for intercourse? Try a home insemination kit!"

Hold on. This isn’t about fertility issues or genuine medical needs. This is about people being so busy that they don’t even have time to create life in a natural way! Convenience is a great thing, but where do we draw the line? We already live in a world where intimacy is being replaced by screens, relationships by transactions, and now even conception by e-commerce.

Digital Rx: The Era of Online Quackery

While AI in healthcare has enormous potential—helping diagnose diseases, streamlining medical research, and assisting doctors—there's a darker side brewing. The internet is flooding with so-called health influencers and AI-generated wellness coaches who confidently prescribe diets, supplements, and treatments without any real understanding of medicine.

We aren’t talking about rural practitioners who serve the underprivileged with years of on-ground experience. We are talking about fake doctors, degree-on-rent practitioners, and AI-generated health advisors who hold your life in their hands but don’t even know the difference between paracetamol and ibuprofen.

"A man’s used condom was stolen, and a waitress impregnated herself with it to claim millions!" Sounds like a Bollywood script, but its in news and getting viral. However this news may be fake but its a possibility now with self insemination kits. When we live in a world where such bizarre incidents are possible, imagine the repercussions of self-insemination kits being sold without any checks.

The Need for Stronger Laws and Digital Ethics

As AI and technology take over, we need urgent laws and strict regulations to:

1. Stop fake healthcare certifications: No one should be allowed to practice healthcare without genuine qualifications and government-approved licenses.
2. Regulate AI-driven healthcare: AI can be a great assistant but never a replacement for real doctors. Any AI-generated health advice must come with disclaimers and regulatory oversight.
3. Control D2C health products: Self-use medical kits should only be sold with proper guidance and not marketed as quick-fix solutions for busy lives.
4. Combat online quackery: Platforms must take responsibility for vetting health-related content and banning misinformation.

Are We Really Advancing or Just Degrading?

The future is exciting. AI can help solve the most complex human problems, from agriculture to medicine. But without human values, we will only create tools to control, exploit, and mislead people.

Convenience is great, but at what cost? Health isn’t a joke, and neither should be the expertise behind it.

"????? ?????? ???????" (Dharma protects those who protect it.)

If we don’t protect the sanctity of healthcare now, we will soon live in a world where AI will know everything, but humans will know nothing. And that, my friend, is not progress. That’s self-destruction.
