I have a questions, who made the rule that no one can post doctors name.

And I don't want to hear that it is because we have to protect the LLMD, if there really doctors they should stand up for what they believe in. What is the difference between PM and posting it, is it not the same thing???

Good point bisja...I just never understood it and my husband asked me the other day when he saw Bettyg's post, he thought it was a little strange so I thought I would question it. And I would love to know WHY...We aren't here to hind anything, we are here to HELP people in need...

Sh*t - the CDC and rest of those jerks can get any info from us in other ways -- They can pull your bank account info, etc. and know exactly what doctor you are going to anyway... hiding the info isn't going to do much.. it'll just take them 4 minutes longer to get it.

I agree whole heartidly with this post. Most of these doctors have thier own websites, and aren't hiding anyhow. Many people have said they have asked thier doctors and they have said they don't care who knows. The government knows what doctors are treating what. They have access to our medical records. Some of us are lucky enough to have docs that accept insurance, ummmm.... records.... not to mention our records of drugs we have filled....

It's like Clayton said, it was stressed to me not to post them , so I don't. I think I know where that got started, and I think it's overly dramatic. But just my humble opinion.

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
