**Interview with Dr. Rohit Mehta, Cardiologist and Medical Educator**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us, Dr. Mehta. We recently came across a viral video from Jodhpur, where a lab attendant performed an ECG on a patient while following a YouTube tutorial. What was your initial reaction to this?
**Dr. Mehta**: Thank you for having me. My first reaction was a mix of concern and disbelief. While it’s great that technology is making medical knowledge more accessible, performing medical procedures, especially diagnostic ones like an ECG, requires training and a solid understanding of the human body.
**Interviewer**: Do you think that relying on YouTube tutorials for something as crucial as an ECG is a sign of innovation, or does it raise safety concerns?
**Dr. Mehta**: It definitely raises safety concerns. Medical procedures have protocols for a reason—improper technique can lead to inaccurate results, which can have serious implications for patient care. An ECG not only requires technical skill but also a comprehension of various heart conditions that cannot be learned from a video alone.
**Interviewer**: In your opinion, how can we strike a balance between utilizing technology for education and ensuring patient safety?
**Dr. Mehta**: Education is key. While platforms like YouTube can supplement learning, they should not replace formal training. Medical institutions need to integrate technology into their curricula, teaching students how to use resources effectively while still emphasizing the importance of hands-on training and supervision.
**Interviewer**: What advice would you give to people who consider using online videos to learn medical procedures?
**Dr. Mehta**: I would advise caution. It’s essential to validate the information and make sure that what they’re learning aligns with medical standards. For those seeking to learn about medical procedures, I recommend attending certified workshops or classes rather than relying solely on videos. Practical experience is irreplaceable.
**Interviewer**: Thank you, Dr. Mehta, for your insights on this pressing issue.
**Dr. Mehta**: Thank you for having me. It’s important that we continue discussing these matters for the betterment of healthcare practices.
