Asking for medical advice...don't they have to agree to TOS anymore?

You mean it isn't true? <gasp...>
It has always amazed me what people will believe and accept as gospel simply because
they read it in a newspaper, heard it on TV or at the beauty shop, over the bridge table, and now we have to contend with WebMD graduates. AAARRRUUUGGHHHH!

Where do I have to to get out of this chicken outfit?!

to be honest, the posts of that most recent person kind of unsettled me. i had to stop reading. i was relieved when the moderators removed those posts (that's what happened, right?).

I have not read any medical advice threads recently because I don't have time to read everything - but I do think most people are looking for a little reassurance that things will be ok. In the past I have seen "gentle" reminders about the TOS and then the thread is removed or closed.

I can see how it would be annoying to constantly see them on the site, though.

lol I actually worked as an "ask a nurse" for a while- I lasted 7 months We could give info to residents of our home state and all the compact states. I know some insurances offer this service as well. I wonder if there is anyway to add a link to some of these services on allnurses home page? (And yes, any question you can imagine I was asked )

I am assuming that you started this thread about my asking about my husbands fever. I apologize, I didn't realize that it was against the rules to ask advice. I guess I just felt like this was a community of similar people. I wasn't a new comer that just logged on for my ?. And honestly I wouldn't b/c I agree that is wrong. I was just worried and had no one else to turn to. I have been a member on this site for a couple of months and have really met some great people and have been able to have fellow students to vent to and worry with. So I wont post another thread like that one. I forgot everything in this world is regulated. But I do understand why, b/c there is always 1 person to take advantage of something good. It wont happen again. Thanks Natalie.
