Free nurse/counselor chat?

We Answered:

Some hospitals have dedicated phone lines for medical questions/referrals/etc... your doctors nurse/medical assistant might be able to answer your questions if you call the office... but you have to realize that when you are talking to a medical professional over the phone that they can't see you, or assess/examine you, they can only go by what you say and describe so they can't make big assumptions in diagnosis, or prognosis, or treatment - so they're almost always going to want to see you in the office/ER/clinic.

It's not a greed for money issue, but an issue of legal liability - no one wants (or can afford) to get sued for giving advice over the phone without actually seeing the patient.

As far as counseling services almost every county in the US should have some sort of counseling service available. Obviously the larger the cities the more availability there will be - check your local listings for a crisis line or similar wordage.

Darlene Said:

free online doctors sessions?

We Answered:

Webmd has a few experts that are doctors in certain speciality areas on the forums. Good luck finding them, though. That site is hard to navigate. But if it's not too crowded of a topic, you can get an answer. Doctors are too busy and there could be serious privacy and liability issues to be looking at your CT scan reports over mail or email for free.

The best you could probably hope for is to make a quick webpage, scan your reports, and ask the public to comment on it or email you. Sometimes you can find a knowlegeable doctor if you post it in some Yahoo group or About.com forum. There are people out there who know almost as much as doctors do.

Here is one I did and got some input by knowlegeable public:
http://www.patientblacklisting.org/GES.h…

Notice how I put a comment box on it (with Homestead software)? I get the comments straight into my email. Then you have to make it known out there that you are asking for input, like by going to health forums and posting the URL.

Or else, find out the listservs/discussion forums where doctors hang out and join them if you can. One might be Maelstrom @ St Johns University (google that for the correct URL).

Good luck.
