Summary
In this episode of I Did My Own Research , Dr. Fran sits down with Dr. Robin Roth, breast radiologist and creator of “ The Boobie Docs ,” to tackle the growing problem of medical misinformation on social media—especially around breast cancer screening. They break down myths about mammograms, thermography, and dense breast tissue, and discuss how financial incentives often fuel harmful disinformation online. Dr. Roth shares her journey into social media, the challenges of speaking out against misinformation, and why educating patients before they enter the exam room is more important than ever. Together, they explore how physicians can balance evidence-based medicine with an algorithm that rewards controversy—and why showing up online can truly save lives.
