Maybe it's time for the real doctors office to open up a service where people can describe their symptoms to them, and get a real doctor's diagnosis, as that is apparently so desired of a service that people keep asking not-a-real doctor instead.
Or it might be because people can't afford the real doctor's office, and so their options are debt, death, or gambling with the available free solutions.
