friends,
It is written here,[...they would be mistaken...] This is a response to,[...there could be IMO members to think that the forum is to get medical advice because the owner is a doctor...].
Regardless of any statements to the contrary in the FAQ, it is in my post what is IMO the >potential< for some others here {to think} that they could get medical advice.
The owner here offers guest >experts< on various |medical| topics. In the following case, a doctor, (Kramer), is given a forum to have members pose questions that are of medical importance to them , the member >seeking answers< from the expert. These answers could be written to not be accepted as fact in the FAQ, but regardless of that, the member is receiving an answer from a guest >expert<.
In the following, a member asks about the use of benzodiazepines for longer,I guess, than the PDR states. The guest expert posts the following which says that if the member needs a longer acting drug than Ambien (and Sonata), that they are not for that member and that [...benzos are wonderful,>safe<,and effective drugs...].
Now is there not the potential for some readers to give great credibility to the guest expert's statements about benzodiazepines?
Lou
