Caren

I usually pass on pointing out to new patients who are in a world of hurt and often not familar with the Internet, that basic courtesy on forums like OCF is to open a brand new thread to introduce oneself. To just jump into someone else's thread with a post that bears zero relationship to the other posts is called: Hijacking. It's disrespectful to the original poster.
I agree it would be great for more medical students to join, because they would learn a lot here that is not taught in medical school. Like Internet protocol
I expected more from a medical student. If you were already a doctor, I'd just chalk it up to typical arrogance, but your cohort of medical students are the potential better future of doctor behavior. Plus learning how to deal with feisty old men will be a big plus in your future interactions with both doctors and patients.
