Somehow I think most doctors would be likely to disparage an internet medical advice forum rather than being impressed by it. I assume Doc Bob is taking a risk with his reputation by his involvement with this site. It's more of a populist thing, this patient-to-patient information sharing, and open criticism of doctors and pharmaceuticals. I also assume he must keep this all going out of a desire to help people. It serves us more than the research purpose could possibly serve him.
