(At the moment, this is likely to be America-centric for system questions unless/until we get more international representation.)

Please post queries here if you are looking for advice on what kind of specialist to seek out for medical problems. Keep descriptions of the medical concern in question brief, and limit discussion of personal details.

THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL PHYSICIAN/PATIENT RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR HELP NAVIGATING THE MEDICAL SYSTEM.

This is a community for physicians, PAs, NPs, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs, CNAs, LPNs, students of medical disciplines, and folks interested in joining the field.

Rules: 1. No discrimination, bigotry, intolerance, or harassment allowed. Instances of such behavior will be deleted, and users with multiple offenses will be banned.

2. Please do not post personal medical questions here. Case reports for discussion are fine, but if you’re looking for medical advice, you should consult a physician IRL. If you are trying to figure out what kind of specialist to go to, post a comment to the pinned post.

3. No marketing or advertising of commercial products. Recommendations based on personal experience for educational resources are fine, but outright advertisement is not.

4. Be rad to each other. This field is rough enough as it is, no need to tear each other down. If you have a critical opinion of something, present your arguments as critique of policies or practices in a respectful manner. (e.g. discussions about scope of practice for APPs)

5. PLEASE REPORT THINGS THAT BREAK THE RULES! (At the moment, there is one of me, and I am a medical student with pudding for brains and slim to none in the way of free time [yay clinicals!], so help me out here :D)

6. Flag NSFW/NSFL posts appropriately. If you’ve been in the field more than a couple months, you’ve probably got your own little pile of PTSD already, but give folks a warning if you’re going to be talking about gnarly stuff. Not everyone is in a good headspace to deal with trauma-dumping or over-sharing. (Note: Discussions of painful or traumatic experiences are allowed, just give folks a heads up before they click.)
