Topic: RE: How u feel about OH

Uh, Carfigure - People do actually come on here and post things like Lora mentioned.  I have seen people asking about bleeding, inflamed incisions.  I have seen people asking about throwing up to the point where they feel weak.  I have seen people expecting us to read their surgeon's mind by asking us why they are told to do X or Y.  

In these types of cases, telling people to call their doctor is NOT a dumb response.

Additionally, while to many of us, asking those sorts of things could be taken as a "dumb" question, to the person asking it, it obviously is something they don't think is dumb. Some people are more timid and I've seen people thank us for pushing them to talk to their Doctor because they "hated to bother him for something minor".  

I agree, that some responses made in moments of irritation shouldn't be made until the poster cools down because the tone comes across wrong, but I haven't seen ANY cases where "ask your doctor" didn't need to be said!

See now that is a dumb response. U really think someone at least I know I won't come here and ask such a stupid question. 

Here's how interpretation varies!

You posted a separate hread to ask how much to eat. You didn't tell us which surgery you have had. That may not be about dramatic blood loss or severe pain. But you are asking us, without knowing anything at all about you, to offer suggestions or advice when the only sensible answer is "follow your doctor's plan and if you don't know what that is ( and you should know), ask him/her. 

So you tell us not to judge, but in this thread you have judged.

You criticise us for offering sensible advice.

For all u that are getting offended I suggest u read the post again. They question was how do u feel about OH.  As I said b4 I've had good n bad experience here, like u guys are advising I suggest u take ur own advice if u don't like what I say then move to the next forum. Like really.  I wanted to know if there were more ppl liking OH or not.

I must say that I love OH.  I am so glad that my Centre told me about it.  I am pre-op and I am learning so much from veterans and newbies alike.  I wouldn't be as far along as I am mentally and emotionally without you all here.  I even thought about starting an "OH, how much do I love thee" thread LOL.
