I was just defending Bettermost to someone I know.I explained that it was more than just a BBM site.Admittedly that is why I started posting.However,I have had some of the best and most sensible advice from people here.
I wondered if it might be an idea for people here with whatever skills they have to offer more specific advice,or point people in the right direction.
So for example I am an optometrist,I would never say that I would diagnose over the internet,but given some symptoms I would probably be able to say what the likely problem was,and direct people on where to go from there.They would also be able to go armed with more knowledge,which in turn means they are less likely to be messed around.
It was just an idea as I am sure we have a masive pool of talent here.
If nothing else,if anyone has concerns about their eyes just mail or im me I will gladly help where I can.
Obviously some things may be private,I don't expect people to post in full view their gyny problems or more personal things.Maybe we could make a list of what help and advice some people can or would be prepared to offer.I know it's easy for me as I don't work.It is just a suggestion.
Just where I live here, I have managed to save people money,by either directing them to an optometrist instead of ophthalmologist,or sometimes just tgeir practitioner.On one occasion,the pharmacy was the answer.
I have to admit I do not know if there are any legal implications here.

I am more than happy to have that done.I have to admit that I have no idea how to do it though.I have not seen the other thread.I should have known it would be lurking somewhere though.If you can merge them,that would great.I just think we probably have a whole lot of talent out there and it is a shame not to use it.Also it would keep my brain cells alive,if I had to switch them on to advise someone,once in a while.

only mods can merge - I'll do it! :-*
