Google creating it own content

I am based in Australia but a US founded search on 'sciatica' shows an awesome answer on the RHS of the SERP

https://www.google.com/search?q=sciatica&oq=sciatica&aqs=chrome.0.69i59.3631j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The download on sciatica is a pdf created by google. Firstly is this common in the US? secondly any inputs on where this is heading for rollout would be appreciated. Is google now creating its own content to publish?

Google first announced these Google Medical Cards in September 2015. Back on May 24, Barry Schwartz wrote about the inclusion of the downloadable PDFs here.  Google is trying to create "quick answers" so the user does not need to click through the SERPs to a third-party website. So expect more Knowledge panels and Quick Answer Boxes to appear.
