@HeteroDox Medical practitioners mean well. They are not Jedi. Some people want to be prepared. Why shit on their parade?

@Starkizzed21 because unless a patient can be examined in person a case of the sniffles can range ANYWHERE from a minor cold to lung cancer without proper testing. What could be held liable for misdiagnosis because you dint have all of you facts and your opinion is based on a photo online?

Good luck with a review board, never mind the law

@HeteroDox advice is not the same as diagnosing an actual patient idiot.

@Starkizzed21 Offering any input about the condition of a patient without the evidence presented by testing is... 'expert'

Starkizzed21 · 31-35, F

@HeteroDox No it isn’t. Why would you take someone’s advice then report them to a review board for misdiagnosis on a freaking Internet forum?

HeteroDox · 36-40, F

@Starkizzed21 If i thought it harmful or life threatening?

without hesitation.

Starkizzed21 · 31-35, F

@HeteroDox 🙄 Of course! Hand washing, how to care for illnesses via rest, fluids, pain meds, and staying away from other people is so harmful and threatening. What kind of medical professionals have you been talking to on here?

HeteroDox · 36-40, F

@Starkizzed21 Accredited ones - you?

Can you tell of those conditions 'fluids and bedrest will be all you need" will be adequate?

You're certain the person hasn't developed an early stage viral condition?

Are they telling you [i]everything[/i]? are you 100% sure?

No chance at all they are seeking medical reference to cause harm to someone else? are you completely certain? Would you stake your reputation on it?

A lawyer would [i]love [/i]you for offering medical advice unqualified.
