Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

Maybe I've missed a post. I saw personal anecdotes. I didn't see any attempt at diagnosing anything.

 

He said @pete should follow his doctors' recommendations. And that is all for a good reason!

And Pete wasn't asking for a diagnosis either
But you don't ask professional to put themselves in danger of a lawsuit.

The forum language calmer caused confusion and demanding a medical opinion from that interpretation is challenging a professional to comment on the "anectdotal" conversation is beyond the pale. Just my opinion....

 

Any way it's not worth falling out over, I had already cancelled yesterday so it's too late to do go back on that.
She said I'll discharge you which is odd as they had never even seen me.

Yes I've heard that they can do it with an MRI but I don't think they have enough machines and it's probably more expensive.

 

My problem, was not that people were discussing medicine, but that they were offering advice, which was based hearsay and was potentially dangerous.

I know the investigative procedures ain’t fun. I’ve had some of them a few times. But as someone who’s recently lost a younger brother to something that was spotted too late, my best advice is don’t sail off into the sunset with your fingers in your ears and singing la-la-la. The outcome maybe so much sadder (and infinitely more painful) than it needs to be.

 

Ha! Try being female. Indignities abound!

 

I'm sorry if I caused offence, but some of the posts contained factually untrue statements, as they might have applied to the original posters [ it would be inappropriate for me to elaborate on a forum ]
I think maybe I should stay away from medical threads, but I do worry that people might be getting the wrong advice.

 

Writing styles differ … as do the inferences drawn by individual readers … just some of the perils of forum-life. I try to assume that most folk mean well even if their writing style seems to me to be a bit off …. Hey ho
