The problem with having a friend who mains the same role as you

If you think they made that skin in 2 - 3 days then you must be very uninformed as to how long it takes for a skin to make.

The reason licenses exist is to protect the consumer by making sure that the provider hits a minimum standard as determined by the state that you live in. I am not saying that the research he has is worthless. It isn't. What I am saying is that I and everyone else on these boards has no way to verify that he isn't just making stuff up. They just posted a very inflammatory response about our current president without providing a single shred of evidence. Then when I called them out on it I got a response about how their experience can tell them and how their is "a bunch of evidence".

Now he very well potentially could have good grasp of psychology, I don't know that. Furthermore I am personally trained in the medical field and I know firsthand how complex medicine (including psychology) is. I see smart people all the time research medications for example and then self medicate and then develop some serious illness or make their problem worse or have some negative side effect. I also see doctors and psychologists make mistakes all the time. So if a highly trained and highly skilled specialists makes mistakes. How much easier is it for a random person with no formal training to make a mistake?

I am not trying to stand on a pedestal. Ignorance in the medical field is very very common and most "self trained ______" are very bad at what they are trying to do. Which is exactly why no one will give them a job doing whatever it is they are trained in. Which goes back to why we have licenses in the first place. To make sure that every single psychologist (or any medical provider) has a minimum amount of training that qualifies them for the position and that we as the public can trust them because they have that.

I am bad at writing yes. It is almost like I didn't study very much writing.
