IANAL & IANAD, but I'd wager small sums of real money that there are tons of legal implications around a doctor explaining how to use a medicine vs handing it off to a machine or even a nurse or other medical practitioner. Think: "my doctor didn't properly explain how this medicine would interact with this other medicine and as a result I was harmed, now I feel that my doctor should be held liable." Were I a doctor, that would probably be the very first thought in my mind immediately following how to automate an otherwise time-consuming process.
There are also considerations about ease of access. To a technologically lay person, the perceived complication and costs around a professionally edited instructional video can seem insurmountable or not cost-effective.
