More and more blockchain-based health platforms are emerging, trying to give patients greater control over their own medical data and treatment decisions.
But here's the catch: does putting healthcare decisions on-chain really improve patient outcomes? Or does it create new vulnerabilities we haven't fully grasped yet? The decentralized model sounds appealing in theory, but real-world medicine involves complex trade-offs between autonomy and expertise.

Sounds good, but does it really work? Putting medical data on the blockchain is still a no-go; I don't trust it.

Storing medical data on the blockchain sounds cool, but who would be responsible if something actually goes wrong?

On-chain healthcare sounds very libertarian, but doctors won't become smarter just because your data is on the blockchain.

On-chain healthcare sounds great, but when you're truly sick, you still need to see a doctor; you can't rely solely on autonomy.
