• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Any Doctors here?

Please pm me if you are a doctor. I have something important to discuss. I am sorry I am asking here, but I have no insurance. Can't get it because of my kidney disease and need for a transplant.

Please PM me if you are willing to talk to me.

Hi, I saw your post, and just wanted to let you know it would be illegal for a doctor to advise you so a real doctor would never do so. Would be jeopordizing their license and would not do so even in private.

I'm so sorry you have no insurance.

Is there any chance that some sites would help. Like the major hospital sites.. Like mayo clinic is one I can think of off hand.

I'm sure you have a specialized question and I wish someone could help you.

There might be more information available than what you can find.

Also, in Recovery Forums under physical health, if you post something you are wondering about, maybe someone else (not a doctor) would have some knowlegdge, but if asked in Physical Health isn't a real active forum, but never know who might have an idea or can pm you.

Also you might want to send a pm to goldenviolet who is on staff in recovery and has a lot of resources on help. She knows what agencies to contact to get help and can be a good resource for you.

I'm sure you've checked into lots of things but I know she has a lot of information and knows a lot which is available or can research as well.

take care
God bless,
tapero

Not exactly true.:) A well known doc on this website literally saved my life when I asked him for his advice. He told me I needed to be hospitalized immediately. And he was correct. I won't tell you his name, but I think you know who I am talking about.:)

Hi Auntie,

No, I don't know who you are talking about, but I do know it's unethical and illegal for what I wrote below.

And I'm glad your life was saved.

take care,
tapero

Unethical to save someone's life? hmmmm....

Perhaps there is a difference between online "diagnosis" and online "get thyself to the hospital ASAP 911 type stuff".
