After medical school, Dr. Jeong completed his internal medicine residency at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans and practiced medicine at a Kaiser Permanente hospital in Woodland Hills, California. Yes, Dr. Jeong answers the questions sort of like a real doctor would...except maybe calling the patients stupid a few times. (By the way, if you are sharing sensitive medical information with the hashtag #isthisbad, the answer is yes.) So while real doctors such as Dr. Jeong can answer some general medical questions over Twitter, that's not replacing a formal visit with a real medical professional. It can be hard to tell on Twitter whether someone is giving sound medical advice or just acting.
