Ok, you're splitting hairs on how I said there are several people here with degrees in the health care field. Here, let me be more specific. There are several licensed, practicing healthcare workers on this website from doctors to pharmacists to nurses to mental health counselors to respiratory therapists.

I guess you just glossed over the part about how Birdgirl is also an EMT-P. I never said her being a student meant that she was going to be able to perform surgery over the internet on someone. You're taking what I said completely out of context. Also, medical students do actually see patients and perform medical procedures. How else do you think they learn? I was simply trying to give an example of one of the healthcare providers on this site and since I know that I wasn't going to violate her privacy/security, I used her as one example.

You also glossed over the part about how we limit the scope of the posts that asks for medical advice. You are completely blowing this question out of proportion because some codeine cough syrup in the U.S. is available without a prescription if a pharmacist chooses to do so. If it doesn't need a doctor's authorization, then what does that tell you? It really is a basic question that deserves an answer. It's not like he was asking about his uncle's anti-psychotic meds and smoking pot. He just wanted to know if his uncle could smoke and take codeine.

No one is forcing you to post in this section DSX or read posts in this section so exercise your free will but you are now hijacking this thread.
