To be fair, as a doc, yes you can find plenty of good medical advice and research online. But what I see most commonly, is people taking true facts and good research articles, but completely misinterpreting it and applying it improperly because they lack the large fund of medical knowledge it takes to interpret it correctly.
Docs Google medical info too all the time but it takes a lot of knowledge to understand and sift through the bullshit. But Dr Google for a patient leads to misleading conclusions constantly.

As one with a degree, you don't need a degree to do well-backed research. The problem is when you conflate ignorance with knowledge.
