It's too easy to say that people listening tosocial media for advice is as a result of X or Y not being helpful. Lets keep inmind that there's a huge difference between breif medical reviews and TikTok or Instagram being scrolled and feeding more of what you click. You doctor, nurse, pharmacist cannotfollow you about to give you information each time you open an app. Social Media medical experts grow in popularity proportionately to their worry factor.
