Not just doctors RN's also as even though my license is inactive I am not allowed by law to give medical advise and I am asked all the time. I always say "You need to see your doctor" if appropriate if serious ER. I might say it sounds like it could be etc,,,, and then add but you need to ask your doc. For a bee sting and person not allergic okay to say pull stinger out and then maybe depending on discomfort follow a non professional advise. Whatever the person usually does. Like a lifeguard will or might say put meat tenderizer on a jelly fish sting. I will read your thread now. Phillipa
