00:00First of all, I'll ask you this question.
00:02Your name on the internet is the angry dog.
00:05So, are you angry in the real world or are you gusail in the real world?
00:11Or do you have to answer that question?
00:13No, I'll tell you.
00:14I have two personalities.
00:16It's the two sides of a single coin.
00:19Now, I'll tell you what is the reason of the angry dog.
00:21This anger is not for the patient.
00:24This is for the misinformation that people suffer.
00:28Now, I'll give you a small example.
00:30I've never had this name on Instagram.
00:33Last October, I was just sitting in the hospital.
00:36There was a very old patient's phone.
00:38He had a cancer of breast cancer.
00:41He has increased.
00:42I've seen him three months ago.
00:44He suggested that he can do a FNAC.
00:46It's a little bit of a doubt that this can be a cancer.
00:49He went somewhere else.
00:51He got some drugs, some local alternatives.
00:55Now, the problem is that,
00:57when the scan of the virus spread out,
01:00I was angry at him.
01:02And I was talking with him almost very fast.
01:04I was in the hospital.
01:05So, some people were sitting behind me in the cafeteria.
01:09They said, look at this angry dog.
01:11So, that's my name.
01:14Now, I'll tell you that,
01:15we are angry dogs.
01:17All of us.
01:18I represent all of us.
01:19When we were working at the government hospital,
01:22I saw people that they didn't have money.
01:25They were poor.
01:27They were poor.
01:27They were poor.
01:29They were poor.
01:30They were poor.
01:31They were poor.
01:40So, I was angry.
01:45So, this is my problem.
01:47Misinformation,
01:47fear-based,
01:48fear-mongering,
01:49if you stand up for a business,
01:51that is,
01:52in my opinion,
01:52and our anger deserves our anger.
01:56Absolutely.
01:57And now,
01:58you are also an influencer,
01:59if I can put you in that category.
02:00I can put it,
02:02although I know that,
02:03maybe,
02:04that is,
02:05that is,
02:06that you have brought up against them.
02:09You say,
02:10that there is no wrong information.
02:12But,
02:12you can also become a right influencer,
02:14as well as your specialist.
02:15You are proving it.
02:16Absolutely.
02:17If you don't have credible voices,
02:21then,
02:21misinformation will take the center stage.
02:23So, as a senior doctor,
02:25time is changing.
02:26Now, I'll tell you,
02:28that the first OPD,
02:29the first consultation,
02:31is on Instagram,
02:32or on Google.
02:33For example,
02:34there is a girl,
02:35who detects a lump,
02:37who panic,
02:38and then,
02:38After that,
02:39you will find a breast lump.
02:41Now,
02:42where you have started this,
02:43the algorithm will start working.
02:45And,
02:45you will have all the information,
02:46feeds,
02:47Instagram,
02:48videos.
02:49Now,
02:50if there is a false claim,
02:51or hope,
02:53or certainty,
02:54then,
02:54definitely,
02:55that will be more likely.
02:57So,
02:58if we,
02:58people will keep scientific,
03:00evidence-based,
03:02then,
03:03we can counter that information.
03:05And,
03:05if you look at the guidelines of NMC,
03:07then,
03:07they have said,
03:08that the doctors,
03:09senior doctors,
03:10can definitely use evidence-based education,
03:13in these platforms,
03:14definitely use it.
03:15And,
03:15you also need to do it.
03:16Because,
03:17if you will see,
03:17that,
03:18according to one survey,
03:2072% of the people,
03:22they,
03:23go to Google,
03:24or Instagram,
03:24for their health information.
03:26And,
03:26if they get the right information,
03:29then,
03:29what do you say?
03:30Absolutely.
03:31And,
03:32however,
03:33the big industry of health,
03:34I think,
03:35now,
03:35the same way,
03:36the industry of health content.
03:38Absolutely.
03:38And,
03:39with the health content,
03:40there are no different guidelines.
03:43You are a doctor.
03:45And,
03:45a doctor,
03:46writes,
03:48and advises,
03:49before that,
03:50there are 100 guidelines,
03:51and 100 rules.
03:52Do you think,
03:53that,
03:53something should happen in health content?
03:54Absolutely.
03:55Health content,
03:56always,
03:56evidence-based.
03:58If,
03:58as a doctor,
03:59one line,
04:00which I am saying,
04:01can change someone's life.
04:03So,
04:03that's why,
04:05some people say,
04:06that,
04:07NMC has made guidelines for doctors,
04:08and the influencers,
04:09who are mis-information,
04:12that,
04:12that,
04:12the first thing,
04:13that,
04:13that,
04:13that,
04:14that,
04:14that,
04:15that,
04:16that,
04:17there,
04:17a thing,
04:17that,
04:19that,
04:24so,
04:28doctor,
04:28we must be responsible,
04:30and,
04:30as evidence-based we,
04:31we must be Lithically given.
04:35At the same time,
04:37that,
04:37education
04:37doesnít mean that,
04:38that,
04:38in this world,
04:39in this world,
04:39we sell a product or,
04:40wallet to store patients.
04:42Provided,
04:43once that,
04:45that,
04:45So then how will we do that?
04:47So a proper educational activity, evidence-based, with disclaimers and no hidden agenda is the need of the hour.
04:55And we doctors are like that only.
04:57We want to study people.
04:58But what is the problem? The problem is that time is limited.
05:01Now in an OPD, a doctor sees 10, 15, 20 diseases.
05:08So it doesn't matter if you tell the guidelines about lifestyle modification.
05:11So we think that lifestyle modification is your own responsibility.
05:16So where lifestyle modification is finished, our doctor starts.
05:20So it is not that you just because of diabetes, exercise your body, and your blood will be fine.
05:28Now if you have a study, you have taken a headline,
05:33and you have put it on Instagram and put it on the title and put it on Instagram,
05:35that the disease is fine.
05:37So what is the problem?
05:38Who is the responsibility?
05:38Who is the responsibility of this?
05:39Yes, if you listen to someone's anti-diabetic medicine.
05:41And then he comes to the emergency.
05:43Who will see it?
05:44Then we will see it.
05:45So what is the problem here?
05:46The people who claim to this is saying that it will be fine, it will be fine, it will be
05:50fine.
05:50But when there is no doubt about it, we are the doctors for dealing with it.
05:54Absolutely.
05:54On Instagram and Twitter, there is a limited character.
05:58What you want to say is that it is limited.
06:00It is limited to the knowledge of the disease.
06:04The disease is taken away from the disease.
06:05So there is one thing.
06:06The disease changed.
06:08The disease has been changed.
06:08He is educated.
06:09He has knowledge.
06:10He has knowledge.
06:11He has knowledge.
06:12When the disease comes to this way,
06:14they are able to get into the internet of the disease.
06:16Do you feel a little confused?
06:18No, I don't feel good.
06:19I am talking to you.
06:21What is the case?
06:22That means that everyone has the right to know about the disease.
06:26Now, the time of the disease is not limited.
06:29There was a time when we used to find people that will get this knowledge.
06:35They should go there.
06:36Like we will get the answer to the Dumbledore with the Book of Secrets.
06:39Now, what is the information is with everybody.
06:42You have AI apps.
06:44You can find good things and know.
06:46Who is the lack of knowledge?
06:47The lack of knowledge is the lack of credibility and the responsibility of human beings.
06:51So, when someone comes to this information,
06:54I will tell you,
06:55first of all,
06:56what do you know?
06:58And what is the fear of you?
06:59After that,
07:00when he shares his thoughts confidently,
07:02there is a very good discussion with the disease.
07:05I will tell you,
07:07that traditionally,
07:09the patient and patient relationship was more of a paternalistic kind of relationship.
07:16One will say,
07:17the other will say.
07:18The doctor will say,
07:18I am the,
07:20and he shall not make this decision.
07:22It is not like this.
07:23Now it's more of a partnership.
07:24The patient will tell his thoughts.
07:26He will tell his fears.
07:27He will tell his limitations,
07:29agreements of cost issues,
07:31family circumstances.
07:32And, as a doctor,
07:34because of this experience,
07:36how many people have this problem,
07:37how to deal this the problem,
07:39how many people have to deal with this problem?
07:39And if there are not options,
07:41then these are too few.
07:41And if you claim these tools, what can you do with it?
07:47When all these discussions are coming out,
07:49I think there is a lot of satisfaction.
07:52And today's generation, Gen Z,
07:54they are fully aware of these things
07:55and they just need to keep transparency,
07:59talk about evidence-based,
08:01and be responsible and credible.
08:04But when they come,
08:06sometimes the patient has come,
08:08they have studied something,
08:09and then come back with you,
08:12argumentative.
08:13Does that not upset you?
08:15Make you feel that I am an expert?
08:17This is something like,
08:19you know,
08:21this is a demand for our profession,
08:22that when a patient comes to the hospital,
08:26it is very upset,
08:27we have to go,
08:28it is very stressful,
08:29we have to acknowledge those things.
08:33And as a professional,
08:35if they are agitated,
08:36we are doing it,
08:38and we are doing it.
08:39If you will see,
08:40doctors don't behave in a wrong way,
08:43and if they are doing it,
08:43then they need accountability.
08:45But by default,
08:46this is our training,
08:48that we acknowledge that problem,
08:50and understand that problem,
08:51and if they don't believe it,
08:52then there are options open for second opinion.
08:55One thing,
08:56it is vastly transforming everything,
09:00and that we all know,
09:01is artificial intelligence.
09:02And I think,
09:03the impact of the medicine,
09:05it is transformative.
09:08In such a way,
09:10in the world of AI,
09:11what do you think,
09:12that when a patient comes to you,
09:15in today's date,
09:16he will make a whole picture of the chat GPT.
09:19I have done it myself,
09:20and I think,
09:21all of us have done it.
09:23In that way,
09:24you will upload your report,
09:26and you will have an answer.
09:28And sometimes,
09:29the answer comes,
09:30I have argued with the doctor,
09:31I have argued with the doctor,
09:32my father is 81 years old,
09:34and a sudden bout of vomiting,
09:36and blood came out,
09:37so now,
09:37I went and told the doctor,
09:39in ICU,
09:39you did not check it,
09:40that did not check it.
09:41So, do you think,
09:42that the chat GPT,
09:43or other AI tools,
09:45can you use the right way,
09:47and how do you use it?
09:49Look,
09:50the first thing,
09:51that artificial intelligence,
09:52now,
09:53it is inevitable,
09:54everyone will do it,
09:55we cannot stop it.
09:56But,
09:56we have to understand,
09:57that these apps,
09:58help us.
09:59For example,
10:02as a lay person,
10:03I have pain in my head,
10:04and I type on the chat GPT,
10:06that I am having the worst headache of my life,
10:08because I am getting a problem,
10:09so,
10:10the answer will be,
10:11by the brain tumour,
10:13and by the brain hemorrhage,
10:13and the brain hemorrhage,
10:15will be able to get the possibilities.
10:15But,
10:16that can only be a migraine,
10:18so,
10:19the doctor is to give context.
10:20Now,
10:21the question is,
10:21how do we use the chat GPT?
10:23So,
10:24how do we summarize this information?
10:26To summarize your entire history,
10:28what are the problems,
10:28when are the problems,
10:29how are the problems,
10:31when we try to summarize them,
10:32and tabulate them?
10:33That is how that happens,
10:34while that happens,
10:35the doctor is easy,
10:36so,
10:36many patients come,
10:37who summarize their entire information,
10:39and some pastures,
10:40and some pastures,
10:42they come in five minutes,
10:43we are working at that time.
10:44If we use the test,
10:45we must be able to take guidance,
10:48because the context is the doctor.
10:50The AI will not take responsibility,
10:52the doctor will not take responsibility.
10:53The decision-making, the power of judgment,
10:56is the doctor.
10:57Artificial intelligence will give you 10 options
10:59which can be taken from cancer
11:00and have a simple migraine.
11:02To process it,
11:05to understand it,
11:05to take responsibility
11:07and to decide the final treatment
11:08is in the hands of the doctor.
11:10As we say,
11:12it is very necessary to become a trust.
11:13It is very necessary to become a trust.
11:16You are a highly specialized surgeon.
11:19Now you are on the internet
11:21which is a very democratic medium.
11:23Two-way communication.
11:25Now we are sitting here
11:26and we don't give the audience
11:27that we don't give value.
11:28They are just listening to us.
11:30But when this conversation happens on the internet,
11:32you will get a lot of comments
11:34and you will say it again.
11:38How was this transformation for a highly specialized surgeon?
11:40How did this transformation happen?
11:42You have told us about how it started.
11:45But what did you think about it?
11:46What do you want to do it?
11:47What is the mission?
11:47The mission is very simple.
11:50I think the trust is being done.
11:52The trust is being done.
11:54I am responsible for the trust.
11:55That's why I am responsible.
11:57Because as a doctor,
11:58when we are sitting in the hospital,
11:59when they are talking about the OT lounge,
12:01when they are talking about the OT lounge,
12:02we are talking about patients.
12:04We are talking about them.
12:05We are talking about them.
12:06When I am doing a surgery,
12:07and the patient is complicated,
12:08then my wife and my child are asking,
12:11Daddy, what is the problem?
12:13And then they ask,
12:13what is the patient?
12:14What is the problem outside?
12:16What is the problem outside?
12:16What is the problem outside?
12:17The doctor is getting paid for money.
12:18Look, there are black sheep everywhere.
12:21But if there are 2% poor people,
12:23then 98% of the people are blaming.
12:26I want to believe that.
12:27Now, I am welcome.
12:29First of all,
12:30there will be negative comments.
12:31There is no denying that.
12:33But the question is,
12:34if there is no truth in the comments,
12:36or if there is no problem outside?
12:38Do you read your comments?
12:39I try to read the comments as much as I can read.
12:43Especially the medical comments,
12:45they are important.
12:46I will tell you,
12:47that we cannot give medical advice in the comments.
12:50That is wrong.
12:51These are my junior doctors too.
12:53I am very happy with that,
12:54many of the upcoming generation of doctors,
12:56they are very sensitive,
12:58you know, generation.
12:59This generation is very sensitive about mental health,
13:01about empathy.
13:03So, these comments,
13:04if they are genuine,
13:05then yes,
13:06we should give the answer properly.
13:07And as I said,
13:08I am a professional,
13:10I do not mind much.
13:12It is like,
13:13that you are trying to troll.
13:15Not everybody can be trolled.
13:17Trolling is also a form of admiration.
13:19Absolutely.
13:19Attention is the most important commodity in today's era.
13:23If someone is giving attention,
13:25then value it.
13:27I think,
13:27you can convert negative attention in positive.
13:31Conversion is also something that can happen.
13:34I would like to know this.
13:36I have seen your videos.
13:37One question in my mind is,
13:39who is writing the script?
13:40I write the script.
13:41I write the script.
13:42I write the script myself.
13:43I write the script myself.
13:59Then I was seeing.
14:00I was seeing.
14:01Then, I thought,
14:01there is very powerful words.
14:04Empathy,
14:06which is called,
14:06for the emotion to show everyone's words,
14:10are very powerful.
14:11So, this was nice.
14:13But, since I went to medical,
14:14the doctor,
14:15then this was very strong.
14:17Now,
14:18when I came to my life,
14:18So, when I realized that there is a change in society,
14:22I would like to say my hidden ability.
14:25I think it came to me.
14:27So, I write all the scripts myself.
14:30I have asked this question,
14:32because when you write the script,
14:34the script is in a different way.
14:36There is also young.
14:37There is also trying to connect with the younger generation.
14:42So, when you wrote the first script,
14:45after that, you changed it.
14:47Because when doctors start talking at someone's conference,
14:53they call the snooze button.
14:55Hit the snooze button.
14:56It starts.
14:57No, you are right.
14:58Now, there are some things like,
14:59for example, attention is a commodity now.
15:02So, in social media,
15:04every platform is a different demand.
15:06Most of the people, especially the new generation,
15:10are on Instagram.
15:11Now, on Instagram,
15:12you have hardly 3-5 seconds to get attention.
15:17But at the same time,
15:18you cannot say such things,
15:20even if you want to get attention,
15:21you have to say some clickbait,
15:22or small things.
15:23So, after that,
15:25you have to take a conversation,
15:26sometimes you have to take the sarcasm,
15:28sometimes you have to take the anger,
15:29sometimes you have to take the anger,
15:30and you have to take the information in this way.
15:32So, you have to look at it,
15:34enjoy it,
15:35and make even a message from 3 minutes.
15:40It's good.
15:40This means.
15:42So, this is a philosophy.
15:44I worked in some of these in some of them,
15:46and when some of the videos were started,
15:48there were proper rant videos.
15:51It was only my emotions.
15:53It was a rant.
15:54This is probably a ranting that people touched on,
15:56That's why the angry dog.
15:58Absolutely.
15:58Absolutely.
16:00And what are your videos that are viral now?
16:03Is it heavy content or emotional?
16:05Normally emotional, because I think it's not just physical, but mental health is also very important.
16:09Now, if a patient comes in, there's a lot of emotional baggage.
16:14So as a doctor, if we address that part of his anxiety and fear,
16:18first of all, the fear is that how much I understand the doctor.
16:21Is he going to take care of me in one minute?
16:24Or is he going to talk to me?
16:25Is he concerned?
16:26Because one lady comes to surgery,
16:29she's 6 months old, she's a child.
16:32I'm operating and I'm here.
16:33So her fear is that she will keep her at home.
16:37She's not working people, mother-in-law,
16:40she's on the road.
16:42So we try to do this for all these things.
16:44And we also need to do this as a doctor,
16:46to counsel them, to explain them,
16:49and to give them options for these things,
16:51and not to acknowledge them.
16:52So if both mental and physical health
16:54will be able to deal with both of them,
16:56then there will be a difference.
16:59Because you're a bariatric surgeon,
17:02that's why I want to talk to you in this arena.
17:05You have a speciality of obesity management.
17:08We are talking about obesity in the morning,
17:11and obesity management is on every level.
17:13Your speciality is the toughest
17:16and you can't pedestrianise them.
17:19Those who do,
17:20you can't do it,
17:21you can't do it.
17:23So on today's date,
17:25obesity is reduced to your stage,
17:27because there are other interventions,
17:29because people are listening to the internet,
17:31because there are health influencers on Instagram,
17:33and because you have some drugs
17:35that may help them.
17:37That's right.
17:39Look, if I define obesity,
17:41then it's a chronic neurometabolic,
17:44I'm using a neurometabolic word,
17:46chronic neurometabolic lifestyle disorder.
17:49Obesity is the same as
17:50blood pressure problems,
17:52thyroid problems,
17:53or diabetes problems.
17:55It means that it needs a long treatment
17:58and multidisciplinary treatment.
18:00Now, we are a bariatric surgeon,
18:02that is,
18:02we are the last line of defence.
18:06When nothing works,
18:07then we are there.
18:08So, we have to follow some guidelines
18:09that if your body mass index,
18:11if your waist circumference
18:12is more than a certain amount,
18:14then surgery will help you.
18:16And if it is less than that,
18:17there are other options.
18:19First of all,
18:19dietary and lifestyle modifications.
18:21If you have 5% weight loss,
18:23then your fatty liver is better,
18:25and your blood pressure and diabetes is better.
18:27Then there are other options,
18:29like these medicines,
18:31which are very good medicines,
18:32which I have done in science,
18:35which is a good treatment.
18:36So, this role of medicines is
18:38a certain BMI
18:38and certain comorbidities,
18:40such as blood pressure
18:42or diabetes,
18:42if you have a disease.
18:43So, these medicines are very good.
18:45But they do not work in all,
18:46because these medicines have been
18:49the cost,
18:49the duration,
18:50the duration,
18:50how long it is,
18:51there is no consensus.
18:53This is a lifestyle
18:55metabolic medicine
18:55which will take a long time.
18:57So, the patient's cost,
18:58so the patient's cost will be
18:58there.
18:59And the other part,
19:00weight loss,
19:01like terzepyteid
19:02or semaglutides
19:04then we have seen
19:0515 to 20% to 21%
19:06but the people who have
19:08to lose weight,
19:081.5-2-0.2-0.2-0.2,
19:11who have to lose weight
19:11these medicines will not work.
19:12They will be morbid.
19:13That are morbid.
19:14So, if you are coming in that category,
19:17definitely surgery,
19:18if you are not coming in that category,
19:19then the other interventions
19:20will be better.
19:21And I think that before 20-25 years, when we were talking about health stories, when we were talking about
19:26obesity, we were talking more about that.
19:31Absolutely.
19:32So, these drugs, the medicines that had never been approved to control the disease.
19:39They were called slim pills.
19:41Yes.
19:41So, when the semaglutide came, it was a revolution.
19:44And you would like to say that the semaglutide is made from a lizard.
19:52The lizard is in Registán and can be hungry for a long time.
19:55So, the scientists have made this drug there.
19:58So, the science has shown that it is amazing.
20:02And after that, things started to change.
20:06So, this is a kind of metabolic disease.
20:07And after that, there is also a good drug in the next few years.
20:10So, definitely.
20:11But the obesity and the disease is multi-disciplinary.
20:14In that you have a lifestyle, diet, exercise, medicines.
20:18And if it is necessary, then surgery.
20:21And maybe, Doctor, if you give a clarity about obesity and aesthetics,
20:28which is necessary to understand people's people.
20:30And also, we have talked about micro-dosing in our stage.
20:35So, we have not to take it lightly.
20:39Because if there is side effects,
20:41it is not always happening,
20:43but if it happens with someone,
20:45then the results of the results are too bad.
20:47Absolutely.
20:48Look, there is no short-cut of cosmetic.
20:52First of all, we have to understand this.
20:53Obesity is a disease.
20:54And the other, visceral fat,
20:56which is the enduruni mottapa,
20:57which is found in organs,
20:58which is found in organs,
20:59if a BMI is a certain number,
21:00or if you have a BMI,
21:03or if you have a visceral fat,
21:05which is more than the visceral fat,
21:06then in that case,
21:08there is an indication of these diseases.
21:10So, if someone thinks
21:11that I have to reduce 2 or 3 kilos,
21:12or 5 kilos,
21:13to look good,
21:15then it is misuse of disease.
21:16And there are side effects of everything.
21:18There are side effects of medicine,
21:20also,
21:21nausea, vomiting,
21:22these are minor side effects,
21:23but some major severe side effects have also seen.
21:25So, it is important to protect them.
21:27It is important to protect them,
21:28that we consider the main diet and lifestyle.
21:31And after that,
21:32if we have recommended
21:32a doctor,
21:34endocrinologist,
21:34or a physician,
21:36or an obesity expert,
21:37then we take this thing,
21:38and under supervision.
21:40That means,
21:40we have to treat it like we do diabetes,
21:43that we have to treat it like we do diabetes.
21:43Every month,
21:44we have to meet the doctor,
21:46or if there is any problem,
21:47then we have to update it,
21:48so that we can fix it on the right time,
21:51or if we have to stop the drug,
21:52then we can stop it.
21:53So, definitely,
21:54we cannot misuse this drug,
21:55it is a very responsible medicine.
21:58Absolutely.
21:59And under supervision,
22:00this is very important,
22:01because black marketing,
22:03and fake,
22:04there is also a risk factor.
22:07So, it is necessary that
22:08you have to take a good doctor,
22:10and take care of it.
22:12Absolutely.
22:12So, I am coming back to the content.
22:16Now,
22:17many people,
22:18like us,
22:20who consume the content of health,
22:22and in such a long format,
22:26podcasts,
22:27and many people are in the arena,
22:31who may be experts,
22:33who are not,
22:34but there are a lot of people.
22:35I would like to go from you,
22:37if you've ever looked at this kind of podcast,
22:39you've ever looked at them,
22:40and you're listening,
22:41not only in India,
22:42but internationally,
22:42this is a very big industry.
22:46This is a matter of concern.
22:50I will say that,
22:51because everyone has to come to the podcast,
22:52there is no problem,
22:53but you have your speciality,
22:56you have your expertise,
22:58in the environment,
22:58and in the environment,
23:00if you give an opinion,
23:01it is better.
23:02The problem is,
23:03when someone is not an expert,
23:05who claims that particular thing,
23:08or outrageous claims,
23:09or miracle cure,
23:10that is,
23:11that is,
23:13that is,
23:13that is,
23:14not only doctors,
23:15but also educators,
23:17medical education,
23:17nutritionists,
23:19physiotherapists,
23:20psychologists,
23:21who,
23:21who,
23:21who,
23:23who,
23:23who,
23:28who.
23:28Who,
23:37who,
23:48who,
23:49who,
23:49who,
23:51who I really like, who is a scientist and he is an astrophysicist, who can explain things to the public
23:55and explain things to the public,
23:57who is Carl Segan. So I was very proud of them, because they were experts of their field,
24:04but they had a public domain, Stephen Hawkins, who wrote a brief history of time,
24:08so they were specialists of their field, but they had time to educate the public,
24:14and the benefit is that you should be a scientific temperament in our society.
24:19And if there is an ability to question a society in society,
24:22then you will lose your own misinformation and myths.
24:25But it is also that, because it is so easy to reach the end of these mediums,
24:32so there was a first time that a scientist wrote a book,
24:36and then there was a study of it, and there was a piece of paper,
24:40and there was a piece of paper, and there was a piece of paper,
24:43and there was a piece of paper that was twisted,
24:44so it was the only witch, and you said that the headline was something else,
24:46the last time you study, it was something else,
24:49and the red wine very big, but when you study it, it was something else.
24:53So, from the beginning of these things,
24:57do you think that when you are specialized people,
25:01health influencing, medical influencing, fitness influencing,
25:05So does that benefit at large?
25:09Definitely, there are many studies that when the senior doctors have a proactive approach
25:16and the public has reached information to the public,
25:19there is a lot of benefit from it.
25:21For example, if you look at the myth of vaccination,
25:24if there is a responsibility for the doctor to give the right information,
25:30the patient who asks the right questions,
25:32and in addition to that, there are platforms that control the algorithm,
25:36and the myths that control them,
25:38and the proper evidence-based knowledge.
25:40So, 100% in today's time,
25:42when we know that consumers are most likely in the digital medium,
25:47we have to reach here.
25:48We say that if students are not in class,
25:51you will have to sit there and sit there,
25:54so social media is my classroom.
25:56But do hospitals like these, encourage or discourage them?
26:01Because the time is consuming.
26:04Look, a doctor as an educator,
26:07as an evidence-based educator,
26:08as an evidence-based educator,
26:09there is no problem on social media or digital platforms.
26:12Even our government wants this.
26:14As long as they don't have a patient's solicitation,
26:17or any product endorsement,
26:19there is no problem with anyone.
26:21It is not a problem with doctors.
26:23It is not a problem with doctors.
26:25It is not a problem with doctors.
26:25It is a very common practice in public education.
26:29The hospital is a very common practice.
26:30It is something which is appreciated by people also.
26:34Now, with this, because you have answered this,
26:36I would like to ask the audience,
26:38because most of us here are laymen,
26:41you can give a guideline,
26:43in which they can choose the right influencer.
26:46We are not saying the name of this,
26:48but what can you see?
26:49What are red flags that you notice?
26:52What are green flags that you are looking for?
26:55This is very simple.
26:57The first thing is that,
26:58the algorithm, unfortunately,
27:01supports such claims,
27:02which are outrageous claims.
27:04The first thing is that,
27:05first of all,
27:06you can see the qualifications of these influencers.
27:09This is also in the NMC guidelines,
27:10that you will tell your qualifications.
27:12In some countries,
27:13there is a rule that,
27:14if you talk about health in social media,
27:16you should have proper qualifications.
27:18The first thing is a qualification.
27:20The second thing is that,
27:22the whole educational speech,
27:27or the people who are saying,
27:29there is no interest in it.
27:32Is it something that is marketing?
27:34Or, if you have given the information,
27:36you have given the discount voucher,
27:39that you will get to buy something for me,
27:41or know the rest of the things.
27:42Then, the red flags come from there.
27:45The third thing is that,
27:46there are no plus or minus.
27:48If someone says,
27:49the first thing is that,
27:49if you have to buy a child,
27:50that one is 100% of your diabetes,
27:53that one is not perfect,
27:54the world is not perfect.
27:54Even if you are sitting in the air,
27:56in the air,
27:57which is the safest form of travel,
27:59the air hostess says,
28:00first of all,
28:01that you will open the house here,
28:03and you will take this jacket.
28:04Why do they say it?
28:05Because,
28:06this is a rule.
28:07If you have to regulate the rules,
28:09and the rules of this thing,
28:10then,
28:11what will happen to the side effects,
28:12and the risks?
28:12Why is it not rare?
28:14Why does it not happen?
28:15So,
28:15these things,
28:16if you remember,
28:16the proper disclaimer,
28:18will benefit from this thing,
28:19will benefit from this thing,
28:19and will not do it.
28:20Besides,
28:21what are the credentials,
28:23and,
28:23if you have no vested interest,
28:26you can trust that.
28:27And,
28:27this is also a risk.
28:29And,
28:29it has also happened,
28:30that,
28:30people have fake their credentials.
28:32Absolutely.
28:32Absolutely.
28:32So,
28:33in that,
28:33you will need a little bit of research,
28:36a credibility check,
28:38background check,
28:39people need to do it.
28:41Sometimes,
28:41in your experience,
28:43that,
28:43you have seen someone,
28:45scrolling through it,
28:46and you have said,
28:46what is this?
28:47No,
28:48it is not.
28:49Every time,
28:50every time,
28:52when,
28:53outrageous claims,
28:54then,
28:55that,
28:55that,
28:56that,
28:56which helps their organs keep leapsing.
28:58Until you have,
28:59you report.
29:00At Instagram
29:01there as well,
29:02there are not any problems,
29:07but,
29:11not any troubles,our
29:14unrelated to their guidelines, they
29:15will not work towards themselves, this
29:17process will not act like we can, don't
29:20have any changed to our health information. So,
29:21this is
29:21a matter of, concern right
29:23now. There are
29:23a lot of gullible people,
29:25When you are sending hope, they are also getting frustrated.
29:28Doctors are getting frustrated.
29:30The disease is not good.
29:31There is a cost.
29:31Now, if someone is sending hope.
29:33This is just the amount of money.
29:36You will be 100% fine.
29:37So, you will die.
29:38The wrong thing is not your fault.
29:39Because your hope has been given.
29:41So, you have to have to have the need for it.
29:45That's right.
29:46Let's see.
29:48Do you want to ask questions with us?
29:52It is 38 seconds.
29:54Please give them a microphone.
29:56Oh, your hands are very high.
29:58So, ask your question in 5 seconds.
30:00Sir?
30:01Yes.
30:02How many snippets of your Instagram is real?
30:04It is in one-fourth.
30:06Sir, today, even television is not so popular for medicines.
30:12But there was a time when there were a lot of medicines on the television.
30:16And there were a lot of medicines.
30:18And there were a lot of things.
30:18So, what do you think that those medicines are approved by the medical authorities?
30:28No.
30:29Medicines are not to be advertised.
30:31It is as simple as that.
30:32Yes.
30:33The prescription medicine must be prescribed by a qualified physician.
30:37No one can take on the advertising.
30:42Not allowed.
30:42Okay.
30:42The last question is your question.
30:44It is not time for us.
30:45Just one question.
30:46Just a small question.
30:47Five seconds.
30:49Sir, as we have talked about weight management.
30:52A common myth is that people think that they will take a diet for weight management or
30:58take a diet.
30:59That will reduce weight.
31:01But the main principle is that the energy balance of weight management.
31:04That is how many calories are consumed and how many calories are consumed.
31:08Basically, the guideline of the American Heart Association is that you have to do 300 minutes per week.
31:15But 80% of adults are not able to match.
31:19So, what does it take to you, sir?
31:21Look, there is a very straightforward answer to your question.
31:24Weight is a calorie surplus.
31:27So, diet and lifestyle management is a cornerstone.
31:30But the problem is that it is not only motivation.
31:33That is why you are overweight.
31:35This is a hormonal issue.
31:36So, when you lose weight and your body is in crisis mode.
31:41The body thinks that we are not getting calories.
31:43So, what does it do?
31:44It slows the metabolism.
31:46And your weight increases.
31:48So, you note that people do keto diet and lose 15 kilos.
31:52And it is a rebound weight gain.
31:53So, you have to understand that it is a hormonal issue.
31:55But diet and lifestyle is the cornerstone of the treatment.
31:59We have a lot of time.
32:02I would like to ask you.
32:03But then, we have to finish the question.
32:04We have to finish the question.
32:05Sir, you give your attention.
32:07But first of all, let me ask you to ask the audience.
32:10Please ask for health.
32:11Please ask for health.
32:12What are you talking about?
32:14I will write them here and ask them.
32:16Please.
32:35If you want to eat meat, you will need to follow him on Instagram.
32:40I will eat meat.
32:43The angry dog.
32:48Please ask him to eat meat.
32:57Please ask him to eat meat.
32:59Please ask him to eat meat with meat.
32:59You will have to understand the meat.
32:59This is a very simple thing.
33:17Thank you very much.
