If you were a new parent, with your entire world revolving around your new child, how would you feel if their care was outsourced to a Facebook group? How would you feel if you found out your doctor was posting your child's case to Facebook, asking what to do, because they themselves had no idea? What exactly does that say about their ability to practice medicine safely and competently?
