I'm sure there are also places where
you can post and get a practicing Cardiologist's opinion on your
medication
issues.

Remember that most legitimate doctors are not going to give specific
advice
to a specific person on the internet, especially in the usenet.

You may want to try and find a moderated group which can control off-topic
discussion - but then you are at the mercy of the moderator as to what is
acceptable and so certain views may be blocked depending on the moderator.



Actually, I did mention that he should consider finding a moderated group on
the internet (not the usenet.) I should have mentioned though, that he is
unlikely to find one where there is a practicing Cardiologist who is willing
to openly answer questions and give feedback. I know there was at least
one, I can't seem to find it though. As for the usenet, anyone can call
themselves a dr. so you are right in that sense, I would stay away from that
and stick with something like a vBulletin board that is moderated. I know
of a great one for Neurology but not for Cardiology.

I found this website the other day. It's made for a lot of
interesting reading about CAD. It's always good to hear what others
are going through, what they're doing about it, and how they're
progressing. And also, to see what kinds of questions they're asking
also.
