This whole thread is useless - it should be removed and never thought of again.



You're useless:|

That is a "One-Liner" and has no place in Bonfire.:|

NOW THAT IS A QUESTION THAT I WANT AN ANSWER TO!!!! :D:D:D:D


(and I kinda find this thread and the pm's that I receive occasionally to be very helpful to some.... if you go into SC - I know it's scary, but go on - one of the leading threads right now is about healthcare in the US. If I help one person that has questions or needs something explains than I'll be happy. Now I'm not looking to diagnose or treat... just help people understand what they might not know.)

Hmmm - that brings up an interesting question -

Since you don't want to diagnose and treat - I assuming it is because of the lilitations reguarding you malpractice insurance, or fear of being sued. (still dealing with malpractice.)

When the competition for medical care is no longer existant, what difference would it make, and what would be the difference of simply diagnosing over the venue we have here?

The malpractice is only a small part of the reason why.

The bigger issue is because it's hard to get the WHOLE story over the internet.... and doing an exam?! If you saw House after the Superbowl... even he missed a broken bone by doing a long distance/telecommunication type consult. And I can't do labs, XRays, EKG's, surgeries.....

I just don't want to lead someone in the wrong.

Thanks Doc, you made me laugh. As I age (only 42 now) I am becoming more aware of the problems I am likely to face soon as I have a few risk factors, mostly genetic, related to certain types of cancer and hope to head it all off as soon as possible.

By the way, according to other threads I read, you have gained all the knowledge you need to remember to flare :P

Well maybe we can get diagnostic clinics, where they hook you up to a machine and it looks at you and there is only a few techs to run the whole thing - Cheaper right? Then the docs can phone in the prognosis.

Well.... that's kinda what House did. And he still almost killed her. (now, granted, I think it was bogus, because even if she didn't have pain with the broken toe, she would have at some point taken the socks of and noticed the toe)

There have been significant advances in telecomminications ove the last decade to enable this wsort of work to be conducted in developing countries and remote localites (like the OZ outback).

Can we also add a thank you section to this thread?

I want to extend a thanks to our resident Doc who recently helped me with some acid base balance questions. I got all the acid base questions correct on my test!
My wife also thanks her as I stopped asking my wife about acid base even though she has a degree in biology, she said her focus was plat form and not human form and I need to talk with somone else.
Dr. K Bord was there to point me along in the right direction. cool stuff!

It's pointless to ask my question because:
a) she's married
b) she's younger than me
c) she's smarter than me
d) she's got morals
e) she doesn't wear cheerleader outfits at night.
