I agree! And the amount of GoogleMDs around here that are "experts" on certain topics and know better than all doctors is also appalling.

i know we all come for advice esp 1st timers but people that post about possible miscarriages or serious situations need to call their obgyn. we're mommies not doctors we wont have all the correct answers and god forbid you get told adive that is actually wrong.

for example i had spotting. i found out i actually have kidney stones and a kidney infection that spread to my uterus with out any UTI.

god forbid i posted online and was told the wrong thing i wouldve lost my baby

Same reason some people confuse Web MD with a real MD. They're helpless.

I just thought to the last post I answered on a woman who asked something like she thought her 3 yr old might have ingested ant poison, and he went to daycare and threw up, she had to come back to take him home, then he slept all day. It was 2am when she finally got around to asking us should she call poison control.
