All I was trying to say is you're not doctors, and I will at the very least ask doctors what they think before I do what you say. That sounds like "common sense" to me.

But I see I've annoyed some of you, and I am myself annoyed right back at the responses to my feelings that "people on the internet < doctors". Sigh. I didn't say you were "just" or "only", either. And I thought I made it clear with what I said right after. And I didn't say I was going to discount anything you said either. Just that I wanted to hear from doctors too.
