Please do not strawman my position. The discussion was about people purposely portraying themselves as doctors and then dispensing medical advice.
I have no problem with someone giving medical advice. I do have a problem with someone pretending to be a doctor while giving medical advice.
- wallace_f 8y agoOk sorry, I misunderstood what you said.
- kd5bjo 8y agoI get mistaken for somebody with authority all the time. What happens when a lay member of the public offers medical advice, and the recipient mistakes them for a doctor despite having made no claims to that title?
- darpa_escapee 8y agoGiven that we are talking about people who purposely portray themselves as doctors, I'm not sure how this is relevant.
