I wish him well in his fight to bring accurate medical information to the net.

I found this Q and A interesting:

How you do see MedHelp in a year? In five?

"The people who use our site are very passionate and we will continue to innovate to deliver better personalized health information. We will continue to expand our communities, work with doctors across more specialties, and increase the range of health applications we provide. We would also like to do more internationally to help serve other parts of the world."

Funny, I was recently called "too passionate" by a MH staff member, as well as being told my "standards are too high".

[AndiJ78]

Ha!

[ziggysgrl0724]

Since when is high standards a problem?

[peekawho]

For Med Help, it is indeed a problem.

It is also a problem to comment that MedHelp has inconsistencies in how they are run vis a vis what they claim they are desirous of doing.  I recently had a journal on that subject (readable only to my friends) deleted when I remarked on some of this.  So, not just inconsistent, apparently, but also thin-skinned.  My comments were not even that rude.
