What's with all of these "tag" ideas?
With this theory, you might as well make a tag for everything.
If I want advice on making some nice tea, I want to know that the person is a tea enthusiast.
I want a tag that says "Tea Enthusiast."

eh, same idea
point is, when you take somebody's advice, you have to understand you're putting all of your trust into that person
use common sense and research
like said, bad advice can come from those you would not suspect
it's YOUR job to filter that shit out
don't blindly follow somebody's word

I think you have to look at it like this though..
The first reference would obviously be seeing a health professional face to face.
The second would be researching the web and comparing that information to word of mouth (shroomery).
I think its a decent idea.
Of course there would have to be some kind of disclaimer in each medical persons signature.

I think people should stop seeking serious medical advice on The Shroomery.
If they don't have insurance or money to get care, they can go to the ER where they absolutely must be treated (USA).

Even now, if I see in my soul the citron-breasted fair one
Still gold-tinted, her face like our night stars,
Drawing unto her; her body beaten about the flame,
Wounded by the flaring spear of love,
My first of all by reason of her fresh years,
Then is my heart buried alive in snow.
The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

That, and they should stop seeking legal advice here as well. Much of the legal advice is embarrassingly bad.

You still have to pay for the medical bill if you go to the ER....
You dont have the money? Good bye credit rating.
Plus there are situations where something like an ER would do no good.
an example...
somebody has bicep tendonitis and so they take your advice and go to the ER. What could the ER do for them? Nothing? Say somehow that they went to see an orthepedic surgeon and he prescribed them 2 months of physical therapy. Well how can they pay for it?
Or they can go online and learn how to do the therapy themselves.
I was without insurance for a long time and I did this very thing . It helped me out.

Hmm, be in debt, or trust people I don't know on an internet message board dedicated to growing a schedule 1 substance. Damn that's a tough one.

Not every ER visit is life or death.
Some people would rather suffer a little than risk their credit. Credit means very much these days. Without credit you may not be able to get a house, a car, or a school loan. So it is very sensible that somebody may indeed seek online advice in order to preserve their financial status.

My injury is healed up too. So....
I am proof that online conversations can influence positive aspects in a persons health.

So there's nothing in between advice on an online message board and a visit to the emergency rooms? I'm not aware of the intricacies of the US healthcare system, but don't you guys have general practitioners over there? Not saying that online advice can't work, but I don't agree that seeking advice from a real life doctor automatically leads to financial ruin. Btw, isn't the whole plan Obama got through supposed to improve this aspect of the US healthcare system?

We have general practitioners, but they are not always cheap to set up. I guess you would say they are the family doctor and you set up a intro appointment and go from there. They can cost a few bucks to get in. My wife tried to set up an appointment where I go and I don't know if the lady was havin a bad day or what, but my wife hung up on her. All she needed was to get in for an ear infection and something went wrong
There are other places that are like general practitioners, we have some around here called "valley immediate care" where you can go for cheap service to see a RN for the most part. I am sure they have a regular doctor on hand if need be. Sometimes referred to as just clinics.
There are plenty of healthcare options, for basic stuff. Sure it might cost you a bit but you won't go into financial ruin.
Now if you are talking about physical rehab, or serious health issues, that's another story. Just hope you have insurance.
Obama Care only seemed to raise my health insurance costs, not sure what it did to other people.

Yea yea. Its cheap if you have insurance.
My point was that some people dont. And that is why online advice can be useful.

@anunnakian thanks, that helps - I feel I have a bit more insight into the American way now. Here in Europe, it's customary to go to your GP if there's something wrong; I'm not aware of any examples of people being refused by a GP. The GP will either treat the patient, or, if specialist care is necessary, refer to a specialist. The costs of such visits are covered by insurance, and in most European countries, health insurance is compulsory or health care is even free to use (and paid for through taxes; e.g. Spain). The drawback is that everyone pays for the system, either through insurance fees or taxes, but the upside is that it's practically impossible to be ruined financially by becoming ill. In my country, health insurance is about $165 a month, and that covers just about anything you'd need, although some dental care needs to be paid for (depending on your health plan). This probably sounds expensive to you, but it's hard to explain the comfort of living with the confidence that whatever may happen to my body, any necessary (expensive) treatment will be within my (financial) reach.
I believe health care should be extremely accessible. If it isn't, people tend to wait too long with seeking medical attention and the problems may be much worse by then (and more expensive to fix, if still possible at all!)

I'm not sure if it's been stated, but how would one even prove that they're in a health care system?
It's just too much.

It varies by state and vocation, but my certs are handled by dhs and dhhs. Faxing in certs with other pertinent info could work out just fine.

I think it's pretty clear the interest isn't there from the admins.
Rightly so.
