Teresa Said:

Who is really bored enough to thumb-down answers to Doctor Who questions?

We Answered:

It was my answer, and I'm not in the slightest bit bothered.

Some particularly sad case has been thumbing down most of my answers here on Y!A for months. If they think by doing that they are somehow bothering me, they can think again. I couldn't care less.

Edit - see, told you!

Tamara Said:

Do you doctors really have the time to be answering questions on Yahoo Answers?

We Answered:

Sure. A few minutes here and there. Sometimes between cases, if the room turnover is slow, or if I have to wait for a surgeon to show up.

I also have time to produce a podcast, help my kids with homework, go hiking, and all sorts of other things.

I have a pretty regular life.

Gertrude Said:

why does so many people ask serious medical questions on yahoo answers instead of asking their doctor?

We Answered:

here , here !! i agree wholeheartedly --- there seems to be a glut of questions that could not and should not be taken as gospel for the be all end all .
i have answered questions ( perhaps more phycological than medical ) but indeed the truth of the matter is --- it's nice to get an opinion from answeres --- but it is far better to seek proffesional advice .
just to elaborate on a similar subject ( medical ) the amount of what can only be considered " gullible " females questioning whether they are pregnant or otherwise ; is beggars belief !! --- in this day and age of technology and the likes i can't get my head around women who either don't know ( or maybe don't want to know ) their pregnant !!!
one lass last week said she had had three tests -- and all were positive --- but still wanted to know if she was pregnant !!
pleeease !!
maybe there was another side to this --- who knows .
good luck.

Alex Said:

Should I use Yahoo! Answers to ask questions I could be asking my doctor, teacher, or researching in a library?

We Answered:

This is a joke, right?

Patrick Said:

Why does Yahoo answers not screen questions that could be answered by a DOCTOR?

Hilda Said:

Is anyone else staying away from the whole abortion doctor questions and answers?

We Answered:

I already believe a few thing so I don't feel the need to participate in these type of questions.
1) I believe that not all Christians approve of what this guy did. Regardless if they are pro-choice or not I believe there are many that believe shooting and killing someone is wrong.
2) I believe that lumping all Christians together as if they either approve or themselves would do such a thing is wrong.
3) I believe that one can be religious and mentally ill at the same time. I believe that is the case with this incident.
In light of those things I just don't see the point in partaking in the abortion doctor questions.
