After being criticized on social networks, the Doctolib platform defends itself. On August 21, the company posted a series of messages on Twitter in response to comments from some netizens accusing the company of dating “interns” who they sometimes find unpleasant.

Also on Twitter, Doctolib reminds that each “intern” is responsible for his file, which is subject to identity control at the time of its creation, but can be modified at any time. With BFMTV, the company does not rule out changing its rules or the information that is shown, without announcing changes at the moment. she commits to clear the record and report anyone who uses the platform to practice medicine illegally.
