We're actually working on building a Health Page that will have these guidelines laid out. We wanted to get this out first though. For now, it's just based on the replies they have given in the past. We're hoping to have the FAQ up very shortly.

Hi Great website and definitely a great place where a lot of people are out here to help out.

If this forum is here to help others coup with mistakes they have made...then why threaten to censor that?  Afterall, it is those persons that are paying to have their case heard by an MD.  There are a lot of people that don't have insurance that are only seeking the reassurance from a MD.  Those people come here...and to threaten to black label them is preposterous!  

I thought it was in the interest of medicine to help others...not make them second guess coming to a facility where help could be obtained.  I for one and very disappointed in this new stance.

And to samioso...I have never seen anyone being rude...only people who are scared and seeking medical comfort...

Hi,

We are not threatening to black label anyone. We simply ask that you follow the guidelines attached. It helps no one in the community to have a member repost the same question repeatedly only to get the same answer over and over.
