Thats What I Can't Understand. Derstand
40 Answers
I find no difficulty in ABER's asking basic and questions of clarification concerning medical matters but I have great difficulty understanding the response to what is generally considered urgent or emergencies.
Over the years some and recently many, have responded to an emergency by coming onto AB and spewing their medical predicament over the Internet.
Why? What is to be achieved other than personal attraction for pity and sympathy of which AB is a fertile area and this maybe a reasonable response.......but not to me.
In such situations my concern would be for medical attention diagnosis and ultimately treatment..........AB would play no part in the equation.
It also often plays out, not always that within 48 hours, they are home and back on AB.
A tribute to our NHS?
Could it be that the REAL emergencies never come on AB and we are unaware of them and the one's that do are just attention seeking?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sqad, you have to be conscious of the fact some of these medical emergencies are more than likely to be psychological symptoms rather than clinical. Forums like this are playgrounds for those suffering from, for example, personality disorders such as HPD or BPD. Unfortunately, there are those on this particular Forum that basically believe everything they read if certain users post, coupled with boredom that a crisis, however anonymous and remote, will alleviate for a few hours.

///// and I think calling them attention seeking is harsh....comfort or reassurance seeking maybe and what is so wrong with that?/////
"I didn't say that it was so wrong,I said that I didn't UNDERSTAND it.
I just feel that this sort of behaviour represents a 'slap in the teeth " for the real sufferers who choose by nature to "take it on the chin" "
You don't have to understand it. You don't even have to comment when people on here post asking for comfort.
Who are you to judge who is a real sufferer and who is not?

Woofy.......I have been trained to identify degrees of illness, sometimes I am wrong and sometimes I am right.
If a medically qualified person has no right to judge.......then who does one turn to ?
Butthat isn't the point of my thread which only applies to the"medical emergencies " reading for the AB after transport and medical evaluation has been arranged.
