I had a similar experience. My GP told me that I should eat more beetroot as it will stop my brain from swelling, which is the real cause of depression.
When I got home I had to look him up on the GMC website to see if he really did have a medical degree.

I feel you. I once went for a biopsy for a mystery lung issue and when I walked into the consulting room the doctor had my cat scan up on his screen with the large, easily readable annotation “MALIGNANT MASS, CANCEROUS”.
