My suggestion is that you use public message boards as a source of support and friendship not for referrals. But that is just me. My intentions in sharing what I know is simply to alert users of the boards to be careful. it is not about scaring anyone. I am quite clear that I support message boards. I included a link so that people could see a medical message board. Since it was upsetting - I have removed it. The link was so not the point.
I am talking about ambulance chancing in a space that is easy to misrepresent.
I am sorry that you feel like you have to attack me simply for alerting patients. And what happens in one place - happens in other places. This has nothing to do with one single board or community. When patients post medical questions on medical boards - this is very straight forward - they know who they are talking to and where they are - what I am discussing in my article is something different. Killing the messenger doesn't change the message.
