Recent posts regarding medical concerns
Not sure if it’s a new trend or if my algorithm has started showing them to me more often, but I’ve been seeing a lot of posts that appear to be asking for medical advice.
There are several subs where this is appropriate (eg r/medical_advice and r/askdocs), but my understanding is that this sub is intended more for discussion on the topic of ID.
It also concerns me that a poster seeking advice might take what a commenter says at face value, when this sub has no vetting in place to ensure people who provide advice are qualified to do so. (No offence to the kind people who have been trying to offer help in these situations!)
Am I alone, or do others agree we should consider banning posts asking for medical advice? (Maybe adding a sticky with recommended subs for this?)
