I am not a doctor but did once work in a hospital.

Ho ho...that's a new one, Jason. That, and your stay at a Holiday Inn
Express last night now officially makes you qualified to give medical
advice
anonymously on the internet, right?

That's the same advice the rest of us gave, and I am not a doctor,
either. Do you disagree with the advice? Do you think he should have
done something other than go to the emergency room?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I think Dr. McCollister was only commenting re Jason's "qualifications."

I see. A look at their posting histories clarified a lot of things. :)


Yeh...I have a problem with Jason's "hobby" of providing medical advice on
the internet. Now he's trying to establish credibility in that regard by
telling us that he "did once work in a hospital".

Are you a doctor?
