Outperforms Physicians answering questions on a public subreddit:
> In this cross-sectional study, a public and nonidentifiable database of questions from a public social media forum (Reddit’s r/AskDocs) was used to randomly draw 195 exchanges from October 2022 where a verified physician responded to a public question
They didn’t go to physicians in a patient setting. The physician answers were taken from Reddit threads where they were interacting with people who were not their patients.
Reddit has its own dynamic and people tend to get snarky/jaded. Using this as a baseline for physician responses seems extremely misleading.
