I always charge the $20.00 to $35.00 DIS Co-pay before giving advice! How else am I going to pay for my Disney addiction?

I hardly think that anyone who can't breathe and is about to drop dead is going to crawl over to their computer to ask Disers what they think before calling 911.
I'd venture a guess and say that no Diser has ever forgone medical care because of the Dis. If someone has, they must still be in the hospital, because I've never seen a thead describing that here.
It makes people feel better to talk about what ails them, and we all learn from it. Right, Mayl?
I am far from an expert but I have been an EMT for 18 years so I do have some background.
I have seen some very horrible "advice" more times then I can count on these boards for people posting about medical concerns. If the person did half of these things, they would be in worse shape.
While there can be some solid tips, advice etc, the poster does not know what is good, bad and some harmful. Do you open your car window and yell to random people and ask for medical advice? No different then posting here when a medical issue crops up.
Just because you feel that people are getting bad advice doesn't mean that people are running out and trying everything that is suggested. You seem to think that all the posters are complete morons. If I am talking to people online about a medical issue, I take everything with a grain of salt. I think a lot of the time it's less the "tips" that people want, and more just a feeling that someone else may have been through the same thing.
If you don't like reading it, then my "tip" would be not to read it, and not to assume that you know exactly why people are seeking out other's information, or what they are doing with the information once they receive it.
Apparently you think the majority of Disers are bumbling idiots who can't function on their own.
lol......... you said it, not me
One of my co-workers just left the bathroom and walked directly to my desk and asked if colonics are covered by our insurance plan because he thinks he just passed a worm My response.... what exactly have you been eating

I work in drs office and I can tell you I have to tell a lot of people that state I need an appt today because I'm having chest pain. When I tell them "If you are having chest pain you need to go to the emergency room!" Some are not happy that I will not book an appt for them. There is nothing we can do for you here and you may be wasting valuable time!
