‘You sweat too much because you drink too much liquid’

While it seems obvious not to take health tips from Joe Rogan, it turns out that medical professionals can’t always be trusted to dispense the best advice, either. Case in point: One Redditor went to the doctor complaining of back pain, and the doctor dismissed it by saying, “Everyone has back pain, there’s nothing wrong with you. Use a heating pad.” It turned out to be kidney stones

Other Redditors have remembered the times doctors, relatives and Joe Rogan wannabes offered the worst health advice on Earth to them, and if someone tells you that your mental health issues are caused by the devil, please get away from them. Quickly.
