Why do some people on here think they can give advice on?

medical matters, I always tell the asker to go see a doctor. Don't people realize that they could be putting life at risk.

My relative is a doctor and they are certainly not stupid.


I also advise them to go see a doctor.Why,I read that some one was giving advice to a person about a cough and cold as being typhoid.Do they even know that?I Wonder.


I certainly don't think that people think that their answer has a lot of responsibility.C'mon,they'll do anything for a few points.?!


It is really a concern.And why do people ask health relate questions?


They can buy a computer but they can't consult a doctor?


Hope people realize it soon!Anyway,you are smart!Why do some people on here think they can give advice on?
if people ask an opinion, they get an opinion





a person may have direct experience of a condition.





personally, i have 'less faith' in doctors than i used to have - I personally know 2 people who have been misdiagnosed, when they had MAJOR conditions... not just once, but repeatedly... because those conditions were unusual, not often seen, and the doctors were too overworked to do a proper job of diagnosis





I would also advise people to go see a doctor rather than RELY on what they get on YA!, simply because they can never give enough info on here to make a full diagnosis........... but, at least they can go in, armed with a little extra information
er, because yahoo gives opinions man, anyway most doctors are really stupid so its a good idea to have an idea what is wrong with you before you go, i was told my pneumonia was ';stress'; by a doctor, what dumb fook cant tell a chest infection from stress?
y do they post medical questions it don't say don't answer medical questions....it's usual to go to doctor but u get sum stupid ppl who get embarrased to go ..so they deserve it...maybe next time they'lll go to doctor..y do those ppl think ppl on here know the answer/s
It's true, people should see their doctors.





On the other hand, some of us have had certain things and can give advice based on personal experience. I've had pneumonia twice and can certainly tell all about that.
Sometimes a little help and encouragement will get people to do the right thing.
