A physician who answers questions on Yahoo?!
Question:
A physician who answers questions on Yahoo?
comes across as unbelievably pompous and patronising, why does he bother posting? He also seems to be some sort of "rageoholic"
Answers:
I am a GP who answers questions on 'Answers' I have had some very gratifying positive feedback from many people who have found my answers helpful. Unfortunately there are a lot of fruitless questions, especially about weight and the use of dangerous and often illegal drugs or useless therapies. I suspect most of these questioners already know the answer before they post, but are looking for inappropriate sympathy for their inappropriate ideas. I note several answerer's are now becoming a bit tired of these and,like me are putting in duplicate answers.
Almost embarassingly I just checked and for whatever reason I now have 46 'fans'. I suppose that might me simply that they want to check how annoying I am being, I hope however it might be because some of them find my answers interesting?
