Sorry you had to put up with this, FBR. Those two were obviously quite clueless about the fact that we don't make diagnoses here and that our standard and consistent medical advice is, as always, "Go see your doctor." I guess we should have known something was up when Fallen Icarus seemed to draw the conclusion that someone had likened a GP to an EMT-P. He was the only person who'd drawn that conclusion, and he was trying hard to find something else to argue about. As an EMT-P, my qualification here is to do the same thing I'd do on duty in an ambulance: advise someone to seek professional medical attention at a doctor's office or emergency room.

I'm glad to see the end of this thread. Shall we shut it down so there's no more obnoxiousness?
