Скачать или смотреть What Makes Medical Misinformation So Addictive Online? | Glauc Talk

Sometimes the dumbest things go viral. Case in point: I guessed a basketball player’s glasses prescription online… and half the internet thought I was rating her looks. (Spoiler: I wasn’t.) In this episode of Knock Knock Hi, Kristin and I unpack my latest accidental brush with fame, the chaos of wellness misinformation clogging up TikTok, and why it feels like the internet is both the best and worst place for healthcare. We also dive into the weird world of grifters, cult-like medical influencers, and how doctors sometimes flip to the dark side. Plus, some rare good news, Congress actually wants to fund more residency spots. Do we trust it? Not entirely. But hey, it’s something.


Takeaways:

The story of how a harmless minus 1.5 tweet turned into Will’s most viral post ever.

Why TikTok’s “wellness influencers” are spreading dangerous myths about newborn eye care.

A half-baked (but maybe genius?) idea for a social media licensing test for healthcare professionals.

The bizarre transformation from respected clinician to full-blown medical grifter and why it happens.

Why more residency spots could help solve the physician shortage… but only if distributed the right way.
