Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 My .02 I see no *hounding*of or *trying to get rid of* anyone IMO it is essential in a forum on the healing arts to know if a bit of advice or an opinion comes from someone who has actually studied, passed national exams, proven their competency on at least a basic level and recieved from their peers the appropriate credentials. It simply allows one to know if one should try the advice on a patient or look at it as interesting theory. It allows one to know if the opinion is informed by a true knowledge of the field or not. If the forum were on Neurosurgery i would like to know that the person telling me that the proceedure was one i should try actually had credentials in medicine with a specialty in Neurosurgery. While a former patient might have useful info it would be nice to know which of the two the person giving me an opinion was. I do not consider it hounding when several people ask simple questions (Who are you? What is your background in all of this?) and get evasion and half truth instead of a simple direct answer. and need to ask again and again I consider this dishonest This is my problem with Rich Simple direct questions should yield simple direct answers. I do believe that Rich has a right to his opinions I would simply like to know in what context to take what he says As far as I am concerned Rich is a somewhat well informed lay person/patient with a dabbling interest in health care and a lot of opinions- some of which i agree with and others i consider way off. An expert? IMHO Not by a long shot. Ron S Doc Rosen 52 years as a student of Chinese internal Martial Arts 51 years as a student of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
