Paula is watching a doctor on a morning talk show who is speaking about a blood condition. Paula has the same blood condition, and this doctor's advice differs from her specialist's advice. Which question can she ask herself to best evaluate the TV doctor's advice? Is the doctor an expert on the topic? Is the doctor's advice easy to follow? Has her friend talked about the doctor? Has the doctor been on the show before?

Paula needs to ask herself - Is the doctor an expert on the topic? She is already seeing a specialist who will be an expert on her blood condition. Doctors we see on talk show's shouldn't be instantly believed as a lot of them are just there for the publicity and to make money. We need to look into their credentials and background and see if what they are saying can be trusted before taking on any of their advice.
