First of all we have several members on here who have degrees in the health care field from counseling to pharmacy to nursing to respiratory therapy to medical degrees

lol I dont know how the educational system in your country works but in Britain you need several more qualifications than a degree to give out medical advice.
A degree is one step up from an A level, and that is one step up from a GCSE which asks examination questions about what the red dot in a cell is called lol.
I personally am with Fallen on this, maturity would be the main reason and common sense another, only qualified doctors are at liberty to 'judge' patients and give medical advice about drugs.
Not students lmao
Students spend most of their time taking drugs, im one, and for the record I study economics yet even when I get my degree I wont be qualified to offer financial advice.
I may talk about finance down the local pub, like what FTP lists to invest in etc there is nothing wrong with that like you said, and I agree, but when it comes to discussing a family members health with regards to drugs and mixing drugs down the local pub, or on an online stoner forum thats irresponsible. 
Fallen was right, its really not that simple, if medical students can offer advice then why are we queing for hospital beds and doctor appointments? Lets just ask the students at uni lol..

In fact, Birdgirl is one of our moderators and a second year medical student

Students are not qualified, they are as qualified as me picking up one of their university module books and deciding this will be my new doctor lol.
