Should the talking to a doctor disclaimer come with a disclaimer that you should first make sure your doctor is competent?

And a disclaimer to make sure that the person reading the comment is competent to assess whether their doctor is competent?

And a disclaimer that there may be errors in the disclaimers, so think for yourself a little bit?

Personally, I'll take an article like this one where the author doesn't much represent any of it as advice over an article that claims to give a bunch of advice but qualifies it with a disclaimer that it might not apply, check with an expert.

He can, but chooses not to.
