MM is not a doctor
Please, if you have health concerns about weight see a nutritionist If you are afraid of getting sued see a lawyer If someone touched you and forced you to take photos see a police officer MM can not take the place of these people. I am scared when I see people relying on MM for advice on their health and safety, Star Dec 15 06 11:42 am Link No need to be scared. The world has always worked this way. Dec 15 06 11:48 am Link But... there are nutritionists, personal trainers, lawyers, EMT's, firefighters, and ex-police officers on MM. If you get sick at the theater, they don't assume there are no doctors in the audience. Dec 15 06 11:49 am Link Hey, my mom's a paramedic... stupid people are her job security! Dec 15 06 01:19 pm Link I suppose people should steer clear of "free clinics" too.? Dec 15 06 01:21 pm Link Sometimes a little MM boost (or bash) can set you straight Dec 15 06 01:23 pm Link Star wrote: It's very possible the MM community is these people. But I get your point...don't seek advice from unqualified individuals. Come to think of it, I've gotten legal advice from lawyers that are far less knowledgeable than any MM response...and MM advice is far less expensive. I think if these were "real" issues, they would consult a professional. Sometimes it's nice to just get some validation that you're viewpoint isn't too out there prior to seeking professional help. Dec 15 06 01:23 pm Link Dammit, I was going to ask if someone could prescribe me something for my rash.... Dec 15 06 01:23 pm Link TooCoolQueeniee wrote: Warm almond oil? It may not cure the rash but it feels damn good lol. Dec 15 06 01:28 pm Link Haha, I'm hoping when people ask for advice like that the take it with a grain of salt and a little bit of a sense of humor!

Dec 15 06 01:36 pm Link Damn, and I was just going to post a pic of a mole that is suspicious for melanoma!

Dec 15 06 01:42 pm Link Star wrote: You're missing one key thing: Dec 15 06 01:45 pm Link Thank you for the friendly advice on my rash. lol. Dec 15 06 01:47 pm Link Ched wrote: LOL...true. I am a certified personal trainer (ACE). Dec 15 06 01:49 pm Link MM is no different than the water cooler at the office, where people get advice on health, legal, and all other issues. What people do with that advice is up to them. If you ask three people, you frequently get three different answers. That's a good thing. It means there is no single answer, and you can do further research, and seek professional help if necessary, before making your final decision. Dec 15 06 01:52 pm Link But I'm too shy to ask my doctor why my sore ooze substance when I scratch them though. On MM, I can do with complete anonymity.

That would ruin my anonymity. Dec 15 06 02:19 pm Link Anjel just wants to know where it is. Dec 15 06 02:23 pm Link Eric wrote: I ain't sayin' Dec 15 06 02:35 pm Link Darn.... now ya tell me! I was just heading over to the Mayo Clinic to get some advice about 'Portrait Lighting Techniques'!

Dec 15 06 11:48 pm Link But I'm terrified of doctors! They see sick people! Models and mayhem don't scare me. In addition; You get what you pay for!
