False, if he who seeks advice does so from an online social site, getting the full genius of whatever group of internet idiots happen to be online at the time.
I am not referring to you, @JustLikeGreta, but Yahoo!Answers has tons of queries such as "I have <symptom(s)>, is it serious?", as though a random assemblage of whoever happens to be online is better than a licensed medical professional who gets your history, does an in-person exam, and possibly orders further diagnostic tests to better differentiate one's diagnosis.
Because who BETTER to answer your query: a professional who has studied for years, is licensed, etc., or random gamers, etc., belching Mountain Dew & Slurpee's in their moms' basements as they play some big online game?
Hang on... [*slurrrrp* Mom, yes, I can turn down the music]
There. 😉😆
