We oldsters are clearly not implying that a person should never ask questions or try and get opinions from others who have gone through the same situation. We welcome them and we like to give our experiences. I've seen some very informative info coming from these members.
It's understandable to post first when it appears to be something minor, as in a rash, not eating, a limp, or torn nail, etc.etc. Pretty much use the same common sense we would use as in evaluating the concerns of our children.... |
I agree with you 100%. In all my time on here folks have always been willing and able to answer question after question by both newbies, not so newbies and even old timers. They don't even get frustrated when it's a question that has been asked in a million other posts but the person rather post the question vs searching. This happens to be a hot as hell topic because time and time again people with seriously real emergencies try to do the webmd or rather the yorkiemd thing than seeking professional help. I know many of the old timers are refusing to post because people want answers but don't really want to listen..so that is why words are thrown and tempers rise. I think as a whole YT is a great place and very educational.
