I don't take medical advice from strangers. If I asked 3 people for advice I'd get 5 opinions. Opinions are everywhere, and hearing another opinion does nothing to indicate to me whether or not it was a sound one. I would still have to do my own research.

I understand that people want to help, and they want to be respected, and they want me to be grateful to them. But it is a social behavior that just doesn't work.
