How often do you casually dispense medical advice to strangers? Especially without qualifying yourself as a SME expert (or non-expert), or at the very least providing reference sources or other supporting documentation?

I see you are dispensing advice. I'd like to see your advice dispensing certification please.

Semi-regularly, as I work in palliative healthcare.

I'm just not sure why that would be relevant to "medical advice" like "If you experience too intense sympthoms, try lowering the dose" and explaining the differences between instant and prolonged-release drugs?

Some might consider that common sense, which shouldn't need to be pointed out.

But life is hectic and complicated, leading to a lot of overthinking, sometimes we just need a reminder of the simpler and straight forward solutions.

It’s the internet: let’s stop with all the fourth-degree second guessing of hypothetical dimwits which are extreme edge cases when they exist at all, but are mostly the figments of imagination. Most often, this comes across as very hollow and disingenuous virtue signaling.

Let’s set our expectations higher. The admonishing rhetorical questions are a waste of time to post and quite boring to read. You seem to be aware of the risks of strangers dispensing advice on the internet, despite stated qualifications (which may be imaginary or real). Assume most of humanity is aware of this as well.
