Why do all you laymen offer medical advice?
I just read a question about an eye problem and the answers were appalling. How can anyone not in the health care field possibly, in good conscience, give health care advice? This guy may lose his eye because he listens to some moron waxing intelligent.

My medical answers always advise them to go to a doctor, but I'll throw in background if I know it.

People do not have to take the advice given to them if they don't want to. They really only want other peoples opinions so that they can explore all options. They usually go to a 'Real Doctor' in the end. At least I hope so!

If you want sound medical advice don't seek it here. This is a place for anyone to pose as anything they want. BTW even health care professionals don't always give good advice.
