Doctors should not be allowed to become social media influencers.
This is my biggest pet peeve.
Everyone loves doctors, everyone TRUSTS doctors. So what do doctors that want to make even more money than they already are do? They start a Tiktok, or a YouTube channel.
And now they get to give you all this advice, recommend ptheirnaffiliates to treat whatever issues you have, they get to use the “this is from a licensed doctor in the U.S” tag to amplify that trust even more, even when they are talking about stuff they know nothing about AND (the final tier) they get to create their own brand and make millions because their audience trusts them and will support it. Then they sell the brand and retire while staying as a creative directorZ
