Yes I agree. I try and not answer those questions but cannot resist the easy 2 points!Health Question & Answer

YA members can give very informative.and intelligent responses. Some can relate to their problems and give an account of their own experience. This in itself is more valuable than plain textbook knowledge alone. The doctors are notorious for this as well as expensive. Granted that some topics are repetitious, and silly- the majority who post their questions here are teenagers who are afraid to tell their own parents. And it's altruistic to lend a hand.

The acquistion of new knowledge is both ways... the questioner and the responder. Health Question & Answer

HELLO.? America is in a national health crisis. No one has insurance to be going to the doctor. Plus why go to the doctor for somethign relatively simple that one could get an answer for on here.? It like you ask the question to reassure yourself that its worth the trip to the doctor anyway (even in you have health insurance)Health Question & Answer
