I know this is a forum for people who like to help others and that most advice is given with the best of intentions but on medical issues why do people ask advice without knowing if the advisors are qualified and why do people give advice as if they were teachers or doctors even when they don't know what they are talking about.

Doesn't anyone worry, for example, about giving dietry advice totally inappropriate for someones medical condition and by doing so perhaps making them ill?

Obviously some answers are totally wrong because they vary so much on each question and from 2 opposite answers they cannot both be right, but they never vary in the confidence of those who answer.

For example you will see lots of people answer diabetes questions by recommending a diet including fresh fruit. They would be correct for a healthy person but for a type 2 diabetic the fructose is just as damaging as sucrose and fresh fruit or juice is not good for type 2 diabetics.

This has always had me wondering.
I believe Alcoholism a mental disorder not a disease.
One reason I say this is b/c Depression, Anxiety, etc. are not diseases but mental disorders. And they manifest certain uncontrollable behaviors.
I believe Alcoholism is classified as a disease is for insurance benefits.
BTW, does anyone know what year this classification was made. I was thinking in the early 70's.

The hospital has said it is due to the fact she is a smoker. Does anyone know if this is normal following this operation. Any replies or advice would be appreciated.

i think i may have "jammed" my finger somehow...its at the very top joint where it connects to the hand. it isnt swollen or anything, but it hurts a LOT and if i dont continue to pop it, it hurts even more. i was thinking about seeing a doctor, but im not sure if there is much a doctor can do...

do you think its worth going to the doctor for? do you think it will heal on its own? do you have any other advice that may help me?

thank yoouuu =)
