medical advice/contributions

i thought i saw a post from dr. steve in reference to donations.  i was surprised to see his name, since they said he wouldn't be back.  do you think if we all try to give even just a little money, that we could get a dr. back here?  not to bash dr. steve, but he never really gave very in-depth answers, and he mostly said to seek medical attention from your dr. i guess everyone is afraid of liability or something.

i remember running across another medical help forum somewhere in my online travels, and i wish so much that i could think of its name. please, if anyone knows of it could you let me know?  i really feel that although this is a WONDERFUL place, most of us are not drs/nurses, and professional advice would be so helpful (to me).

i would definitely make regular/maybe quarterly donations to a place that had a dr. overseeing it and answering questions more fully...do you think the people who run this board would be willing to look into finding someone if we all pitched in what we could?  it would be too bad if they had to make this board cost something for everyone - some people just pop in and out and i don't think they should have to pay, but many of us (like me) come here every day.  i have no idea what to contribute...does anyone have a number in mind - i'd just like to know what you guys think would be appropriate.

thanks all:)

I DOUBT ANGST MENT ANYTHING NEGTIVE AT ALL,
AGNST HAS BEEN SUPPORTING OF EVERYONE IN ALL HER POSTING.
i DID NOT READ ANTHING INTO IT.
WE ARE ALL HERE HELPING EACH OTHER.
SOME TIMES WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS ROCKY ROAD OF
GETTING OUR LIVES BACK TOGETHER WE NEED TO ALLOW OTHER TO MAKE A MISTAKE OR SAY SOMETHING WRONG, IT 'S NOT A REAL BIG DEAL IN THE BIG PICTURE.
WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER NOT SEPERATE OURSELVES FROM OTHERS.
I REMEMBER IN MY EARLY DAYS INNA THE HEROIN ADDICTS SAT ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM, METH(SPEED)JUNKIES ON THE OTHER SIDE, PEOPLE
DID NOT EVEN TALK TO  POT HEADS , IT WAS ALL SEPRATION AND THE REAL PROBLEM WAS NOT WHAT WE USED BUT WHYU WE USED.
WE AS RECOVERING ADDICTS GET BETTER BY HELPING , AND SHARING WITH OTHERS.
MY FATHER HAD BISSNESS CARDS AND ALL THEY SAY ON THEM IS (
KINDNESS KINDNESS KINDNESS.
i AM A BIG BELEIVER IN RECEPROCITY -WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
iF I TURNED MY BACK ON EVERY PERSON WHO TREATED ME BAD OR DIS AGREED WITH ME,OR CONTRADICTED ME OR LIED TO ME I WOULD BE ALONE.
LIVE AND LEY LIVE. ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO JUST BE WRONG, ACCEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

I do not want to bash you at all.  I was only trying to tell you that I agree for the need of a real professional when we have real medical problems.  It is quite okay to leave me alone.  I am not into bashing.  I am just tired, time for me to get off for the night.

now you're going to give me **** too?  i guess i was caught up in the negativity, and i forgot to thank you for your post.  

i don't even want to know what you mean by "YOUR" forum, but it is yet another dig i feel is unnecessary.  why is it that the people that i leave alone are the ones that feel the need to bash me?

IF YOU DO FIND A DOCTOR WHO CARES ENOUGH TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
I WOULD LOVE TO AKS HIM QUESTION ALS, AND I AM SURE WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO HAVE SUCH INFORMATION .
SO LET ME KNOW. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE AND REALIZE I NEED TO STAY CLEAN, SINCE I AM IN NO PAIN RIGHT NOW.
BY ME STAYING CLEAN MOST OF MY USING DRUGS PROBLEMS GO AWAY.
WE ALL NEED A PLAN OR A HEALTHY COURSE OF ACTION.
i AM SURE IT IS MUCH HARDER TO DO WHEN WE ARE SEVERLY INJURED AND HAVE TO TAKE PAIN MEDS.
I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN YOU ARE ABUSEING DRUGS AND ALONE
,WE ARE BEHIND ENEMY LINES AND COMPLETLY SUROUNDED.
JUST A BAD SITUATION THAT ONLY GETS WORSE.

I HOPE THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER FOR YOU,
AS ADDICTS WE ARE A SENSITIVE LOT. SO TAKE IT LIGHT.
PEACE,   HOW IS GWH AND DIVE DOING.
