ah. and is there a code regarding patient participation in activities such as seminars?

well... someone could say 'yeah i get a lot of helpful info off the med board' and then proceed to talk about some of the 'helpful' suggestions. and they might be sitting there thinking 'but actually that is a very dangerous suggestion because obviously the person making the suggestion didn't know about this possible side effect'.
so... the posters experience is that 'there is accurate information on the meds board' but the p-docs can assess that one by listening to some of the concrete suggestions that people have made.
and the person doesn't appreciate the significance of what they are saying...
or someone talking about helpful support on the psychology board... and them listening to examples... and thinking 'well thats probably just completely undermined what the therapist was probably trying to do with that person'.
in those kinds of cases... experience says one thing... and the 'concrete' bits... say otherwise. in which case... can you imagine that the tone might get a little sceptical / patronising / etc.
make any sense?
it is possible...

no i don't think they would be ripped to shreds either. but if it is discounted... that can be painful enough... especially if one doesn't understand what went wrong...
> And about posts being archived indefinitely and potential harm from that...well...that's really a separate issue from this project, I think.yeah it is.
but it is ethics... once more.
