Doctor Google is becoming popular for people who want to find out what their symptoms mean before they go out to the hospital or Doctors office. According to Healthline, we may need at least 90,000 more doctors by 2025. With the advancement of AI, one can only wonder what the future will bring to solve this shortage. I remember 20 years ago when people said that we will “run out of nurses”. We did not run out but we became more efficient with technology. Nurses will continue to assist with this healthcare problem.

According to the top searched on Google (Dr. Google) in 2019 –

1. How to lower blood pressure
2. What is keto?
3. How to get rid of hiccups
4. How long does the flu last?
5. What causes hiccups?
6. What causes kidney stones?
7. What is HPV?
8. How to lower cholesterol
9. How many calories should I eat a day?
10. How long does alcohol stay in your system?

We know the answers to these questions and we should share our knowledge as efficiently and rapidly as possible.
