It is written here that no one here has the expertise to screen posts to determine any and all possible adverse events attendant to the treatment suggestions made by the people here.
Mr. Hsiung states that the only posts that he takes responsibility for are his own. Yet he does say that he does take responsibility for his policies here. His policy is that what is not acted on by him is not against his rules and that being supportive takes precedence.
As to if Mr. Hisung has the expertise needed to act on posts advocating a drug here that could cause adverse consequences, or the advocating of combining drugs, a psychiatrist could have that expertise, for that could be in their training to be certified. And there are books available to him spelling out these adverse consequences and books and manuals and literature made for the psychiatrist. I do not think a rational person could think that Mr. Hsiung is a charlatan posing as a psychiatrist here and is dumb about these drugs that he calls "medicines".
