MFP Medical Advice...

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who seek "medical advice" on MFP...

MFP Member A asks:
"When I run on the treadmill, I get a shooting pain in my testicles and I often go blind for 20-30 minutes at a time. Am I drinking enough water??"

MFP Member B inevitably answers:
"You probably need new running shoes. I'll explain further, as soon as my shift ends at Taco Bell."

If you have a medical question... GO TO A F***ing DOCTOR.

    There you go. Trying to be logical and reasonable. Who needs that?

    But....I already asked the Googles and they didn't know! So now I have no choice but to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet.

    Not everyone agrees with conventional medicine. This is just another alternative, like homeopathic medicine. Only it's called idiotpathic medicine.
    Stop judging OP.

    Nope, the idiotpathic medicine. I've seen way too many of those.
