A medical degree - the MD - is granted when a person graduates from medical school. Getting licensed to practice medicine as a physician is another matter. Gu did earn a medical degree, so it's legit for him to use the MD and to claim he's a medical doctor. But he didn't finish his post-grad training (which consists of internship and residency) or get a license to practice medicine so he can't see/treat patients. I think opining on social media as though he's an expert on all sorts of medical topics would not be a violation of the rules.
