Hey Everyone,

I'm rather new to this Forum and wondered if anyone knows of a website/chat that offers serious online help from health professionals (doctors, physios, nurses...), legal advisors, etc.
I know that peers are most of the time the best reliable source of information but sometimes there are issues you might want to ask a professional (e.g. urinary tract infections, glenohumeral joint problems...).

Thank you very much for your help!
All best,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

My experience has been that many times the peers are more informed. Physicians rarely think outside the box and rely on pharmaceutical companies to update them.

Take advise from these members and form your own opinion.

Good luck.


Note: There are several online but you have to pay for an answer.

Well there is this building where you make an appointment and get to meet with such an individual. They usually call them Clinics or Dr Offices
