the Facebook post has definitely got some misleading wording, though. "Trust me I know many physicians delay self care when we have 100 items on our plate", for example, sounds like she's trying to imply that she's one of the physicians without explicitly saying it.

Yes, but the point is that, afaik, that is not a crime, no?

Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that's regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.
