That 15 hour post isn't worth the bother of reporting
There are some silly questions and some very silly, irresponsible answers too!.
I don't think anyone would rely on the advice they get on Y/A, but if people are undecided re seeing their doctor a few opinions can help them make a decision
I've seen a questioner glad of an explanation when she hadn't understood the one her doctor gave as his English wasn't good!.
One lady asked a question about cancer, she knew the answer really, but alone with her thoughts just wanted contact!.
Some just need their thoughts organising, not easy to do for oneself!.
A liitle knowledge can be a dangerous thing, but ignorance is far more dangerous!.
The youngsters on here are both heartbreaking and funny, their worries bring back my teenage years - how I would have welcomed this forum!.
My mother referred to her vagina as 'down there'!.
The pressures on these youngsters is greater than in my day, drugs, early sex, be thin, be healthy, eat this, do that, no wonder they are confused!.
Anyone can ask a question, and as they are anonymous there is no embarrassment !. Answers often come from those who have wondered about the same problem, or been through the same experience!.
Well, I didn't intend to launch into that lot, but yes, I think this section is excellent, warts and all!.

I don't think people rely on Yahoo Answers!. Its just a place where advise can be given and to see if anyone has been through the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need MENTAL health counselling for your uninformed hateful bigotry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i answered pretty much the same thing last night when someone when asking a health question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Users should always consult their own GP's/Drs with regards to health concerns!. Many people just like to talk about it first with their friends or other people who may be experiencing the same thing, prior to seeking help!. Just so they know what to expect!. There is nothing wrong with that!.
As the first poster said, I don't think people actually rely on Y!A for health advise, it's just nice to get different opinions!.
Your missing the point!. Look at it another way, every single time you have a health question do you ALWAYS go to your GP!? Or sometimes do you read up a little about it first!? Maybe ask your friends for their opinions before seeing your GP!? Exactly!.
No one is saying Y!A is a SUBSTITUTE for seeing your Dr, but it's nice to get a bit of general advise!. We can't control what the asker listens to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
