Today, my mother-in-law decided my husband has COVID-19, read some debunked articles about how ibuprofen makes the symptoms worse, and scolded me for giving him ibuprofen for his muscle pain. I'm an actual medical doctor. FML

pharmacists can (at least where I am) give medical advice to certain extent. they know their meds and learn about simpler things to be able to adequately suggest proper meds (creams, Advil vs Tylenol). in some places they can even prescribe certain medication too.

Her friend probably knows how to pair cheese with wine perfectly? What more medical advice do you need?

If you can rattle off every adverse reaction/etc to every drug, as well as the ingredients and what they can do to you, etc. you might have a point.

But your not a doctor? Should I ask for financial retirement investment advice from my bank teller friend or someone with life experience??

Today, on my first day as a community support officer, a 7-foot meathead in the middle of a domestic argument told me to “piss off shorty”, and when I asked him not to swear at me, he picked me up one-handed and threw me in a builder's skip full of mud and wet cement. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were having sex. Feeling goofy, I thought it’d be funny to try to reenact that horrible sex scene from the movie Showgirls. I threw my body back, but completely lost my balance and smashed my head on the headboard. I ended up with a bad concussion and a huge hospital bill. FML
