medical advice

A:You have pimples? Maybe you can post a question and find a cure.

A:The amount of information given here makes it very hard to diagnose this. From what you have described it sounds like the problem could be food allergy, weak adrenal glands, and possibly pour digestion. If your mam is over 40, it could be hormone imbalance (and this could be related to food allergy). The doctors are not interested because they probably have no clue and do not want to be embarrassed or go to the trouble of figuring the problem out in a few minutes so it is not worth their time. They figure if they can't figure something out in a few minutes, they are losing money. I would like to try and figure this one out, but need more information. E-mail me and give more details.

A:The NHS (National Health Service) provides free and subsidised treatment for people who live in the UK. As an international student, you may be entitled to NHS treatment if you are: - Enrolled on a course lasting for six months or more; - Enrolled on a full-time course in Scotland, no matter how long it lasts. If your course is less than six months long, you may still be eligible for treatment under the NHS if you are from a country that has a reciprocal health agreement with the UK (See the website below for more details about this). http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Policyandguidance/Healthadvicefortravellers/Gettingtreatmentaroundtheworld/Otherreciprocalagreements/index.htm To receive any treatment through the NHS, firstly you have to be registered with a doctor (GP). You should register with a local GP as soon as you have a permanent address - don't wait until you are ill. A list of local GPs is available from public libraries, and the student services at your university/college should be able to help you further. If you live in halls, the management usually has arranged for the students to register with the nearest practice. Alternatively you can phone NHS Direct at 0845 4647. Once you register and receive your NHS card, don't forget to take the card with you whenever you go to see your doctor or any other NHS health-care provider (e.g. a dentist or an optician). If you are not entitled to NHS treatment you will have to pay the full cost of any treatment you receive in the UK. This can be expensive, so make sure you have medical insurance that covers you while you're living abroad.

A:I hear ya! I think too many moms think they're 'overqualified' at times to give advice on things that go beyond parenting. I mean let's face it, if we could do a doctor's job, none of us would be going to them, right? Personally, if one of mine gets really sick, I want to know that the person treating them has a medical degree, not just the fact that they've had a baby!

A:People do it as some of the advice offered is very good advice but unfortunately a lot of it is junk advice but it is all free advice. People also do it to avoid a visit to their doctor and some people ask for advice as their doctor has been unable to help them. Most doctors don't believe in alternative medicine and some people do so they ask questions under Alternative Medicine.
