Dr. Gooble is getting a booting for helping to create cases of cyberchondria, which wastes the time of proper doctors when a customer reports some dreadful disease. The ‘diagnosis’ is plain wrong in two out of three cases and Dr. Gooble’s customers tend to pick the worst possible ailment on offer as their problem; brain tumour for a headache, cancer of one sort or another, etc.
Worse, there are all the ‘health influencers’ doing the same job as Dr. Gooble, e.g. the vaccine conspiracy theorists.
