A question that's been plaguing me...?

I've been around Yahoo! Answers for about a year, and I've noticed something that really bothers me...

The really dangerous questions.

Yeah, you know, the questions about "I'm coughing up blood, is this bad...?"

What is their problem? They should go see a doctor instead of asking random individuals for a solution. If it's about the cost of a visit to the doctor's office, it's well worth it if their problem is serious. They're only prolonging their problem by asking for solutions that might not even work.

Speaking of which, you people that go to the doctor's office for a minor cough are wasting money. Rest, plenty of fluids, etc. is just as good of a remedy and less expensive, too.

I should really get a blog.

Anyways, tell me your thoughts on this topic, people.

    agreed...being a paramedic I dont see why people with questions regardless of common sense should know that something isn't right i.e. coughing up blood. This only strengthens my hypothesis that 3 in every 4 people is a complete effing idiot. :D

    Hahaha yea I tend to agree. If you are coughing up blood, go see a doctor. If it's something like a stuffy nose, drink fluids and rest. Common sense, right?
