Practicing medicine typically involves more than just a conversation, so there is little risk of creating a perceived patient-doctor relationship based in just oral advice. Lawyers by contrast routinely practice law just by having a conversation.

That is certainly a fair point. The bar for creating a patient-doctor relationship in the legal sense is probably much higher.
