It sounds like you're speaking from a place of pain and I hope it's taken care of. Nevertheless, this can be said about any profession with the internet nowadays. Becoming an expert in an obscure topic is not hard, and made even easier with a very clear vested interest in one's own health.

Its true, this can be said about any profession, but the difference is that other professions do not have peoples lives in their hands. Claiming absolute authority on a topic that is a matter of life and death, and then providing potentially mediocre or worse outcomes or an incomplete picture of the possibilities is inexcusable in 2019.
The industry as it currently is, with restricted supply of doctors, memory based entrance exams, etc makes no sense
