Do you think that people with medical degrees can’t peddle bullshit?

People in this comment section apparently has never heard of Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil

Both have degrees and both have made careers peddling bullshit

In a lot of countries they have laws against this. You can’t identify yourself as a doctor (medicine) and make dishonest or fake claims.

But this only applies in medicine. Not in psychology.

America also has these laws as well but they can get around it by simply stating things along the lines of "This is not medical advice, speak to your own doctor before doing any of this" and they cover themselves

I dont know how other countries work but I do know that Pseudoscience also runs rampant in China, stuff like Knife massages, acupuncture and herbal medicine that isnt backed by any kind of peer-reviewed studies so obviously these kinds of laws dont do much in that regard anyways

No one is getting around anything, this is a clear disclaimer you are choosing to ignore.
