Hepatitis C Expert Forum

[Marcia2202]

As quite a few people are annoyed by people accidentally or intentionally answering questions directly addressed to Dr. Dieterich, I have taken the initiative to write to medhelp and ask them to do something about it. I know that I myself have accidentally answered on the Expert Forum and only realized afterward, that I was on the wrong forum. So .... my suggestion is that they change the settings, so that only Dr. D. can reply.

In the beginning I thought that it was kind of okay to reply to the answers AFTER Dr. D. posted his reply. But after thinking a bit more about it, I actually don't think that's so cool either.

If a person asks Dr. D. a question, they expect an answer from Dr. D. and not from all of us. If they would want our comment on that particular question they would/could post it either here or on Hep C social forum or on the Hep c forum.

And if they want comments from Dr. D and the forum members, they can post the same question on both forums.

The problem is, that Dr. has missed some questions and they look as if they have been answered. And that must be quite frustrating to the posters.

Hope I haven't stepped on anybodies feet.

if they`ve never tried it? Even a doctor? People believe what they want to believe, like America is a good country, full of smart people.

No I can see he doesn't with all the unanswered questions.  Perhaps that's also why people answer until he can get to the questions himself.
It's probably like a second job to him.
4 a day isn't bad, just wish i could get one in   LOL
Thanks Marcia...

They allow 4 posts a day... and maybe less over the weekend. I haven't really figured that out. When they announced the forum they said 4 a day. I think it must be not to inundate the doc .... He probably doesn't have all that much time to sit there answering questions :-)

and find out why they only allow like 2 posts a day over on the expert forum.
It used to be like that here and it stunk!  Someone over there opened a new post to the Doc instead of continuing in his original---That could have been MINE!!!  LOL
(I've been trying to get in there to post a ? for a few days now)

Thanks... I'll do that...

I don't know what the heck that Matt is on... He is really, really bizarre...

Hey Marcia,

Thanks for taking the initiative - I don't think the thread re Dr D was aimed at you :-)...
I've had posts from my questions to Dr D replied by Dr D as well as other informed people on the forum and found the suggestions invaluable.
So, those reading, if you see a post from me to Dr D, feel free to add your comments... Please!!!!   I had no doubt as to which responses were from Dr D and which were from others sharing their experiences.
