A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

Yep this is awful. Some doctors don’t know how to keep their ego in check.

Makes you really appreciate the ones who admit they don’t know. Though they are few and far between.

Yep. I treasure every medical professional who has been honest with me about not knowing something.
