Is there a SDMB member that is a Dr I could possibly ask a medical question via email? I appreciate the help.

The two I can think of atm are **Qadgop the Mercotan** and **DrLao** , although **edwino** is a med student.

It’s difficult to diagnose problems by the internet. And of course if it’s severe you should get yourself to a hospital. But if you like, you can email me and I’ll ask **dr\_mom\_mcl**.

In addition to myself, and the others above, KarlGauss is a doctor. Yeah, barbitu8, Neurodoc and DoctorJ all have lots of medical knowledge. If you e-mail me, I will respond, but if it is complex will recommend you see someone in the flesh.
