Who actually believes?

I don't believe any of them. If you seriously think about how much money doctors have, I'm sure they can afford to be doing better things then going on Yahoo answers. and like you said their job takes up alot of time. why would they want to continue working for free, and also majority of the time i think their advice is really bad.

I'm sure there probably are a few doctors but I just don't believe any of them just in case.

Where do you live? Where i live you are required to get involved if you are a doctor or nurse and there are good Samaritan laws that protect you. Thats really sad that wasn't the case for your cousin who might have been able to help someone.

Edit: I would look up what they said, and i would research it myself. It would depend on the situation. Not every condition needs a doctor, I would only ask on yahoo answers if i was unsure of the severity of the condition, or i believed it to be something mild.

sometimes i dont beleive them, but i do think that a real medically trained person would not let the fear of being sued stop them from helping a person who was injured.

if someone asks for a doctor on a plane/ship/train/hotel/whereever and you are medically trained you have an obligation to make yourself known. its called the hypocratic oath, the oath to preserve life and not harm humans.

what i find extremely hard to beleive is that a qualified nurse and doctor were able to walk away from an injured man when their skills could have helped him. that is unbeleiveable in my opinion.

Common sense and proper use of English on Yahoo Answers? Egad!

I shall make an inside group in Yahoo Answers and call it "The Common Sense Team"! Searching far and wide for people with common sense to beat it into every idiot who goes to Yahoo Answers so that Yahoo Answers is used for legitimate questions!

Idk while i grew to become right into a christian and despatched to trip bible college while i grew to become into little; we had a Sunday college instructor that informed us jews have been going to hell. She kinda freaked me out. so a techniques as my new faith; I haven't any theory. Islam regards jews as "people of the e book". "somewhat people who have self belief, and people who're Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the final Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no concern for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:sixty two, 5:sixty 9, and many different verses). - so a techniques as i've got studied; you may desire to have self belief in God and the final day to have a gamble; and then do good deeds and be a many times good individual. Which makes Christians sort of iffy using fact they worship a trinity it is considered shirk in islam. yet i might desire to be incorrect in all of this i'm no expert.

Most of the people who claim to be a doctor or registered nurse in the preamble to their actual answer or in the actual answer itself are probably not a doctor or nurse and are probably just jesting. There are, of course, exceptions.

The people who claim to be a doctor or registered nurse in the "source" below the bottom of their answer are probably genuine.

Yes - I'm a little skeptical of some of those endorsements - Like you - I think they would not have time to go online - unless they are retired or something.
