While I'm usually a DIY kinda guy, giving this advice on a large scale is a perfect recipe for disaster and really encapsulates the dark-ages dystopia that the current US medical system has become.

While looking for moldable plastic material ("Sugru" and similar) on Amazon, I was a bit taken aback by the reviews for one such substance. Multiple reviewers were stating that they were using this stuff to make their own dental crowns or some other DIY tooth repair because they couldn't afford a dentist. I found this quite shocking and I'm not sure if these people were serious.
See the reviews on this product page: https://www.amazon.com/InstaMorph-Moldable-Plastic-6-oz/dp/B...

The teeth reviews on that product are pretty crazy. I kept reading them thinking "they really thought they could do this themselves??"

If someone self-studies basic things, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just look at first aid. There are many people who have no idea what to do for minor injuries because they never took the time to learn. Suturing is on the borderline of of falling into first aid. There are people today who learn the basics of it for emergencies or because they live in remote locations.
