Purpose
The purpose of this sub is to discuss current and past medical innovations, medical topics, anything that enhances others' understanding of medicine.
This is a science and evidence-based subverse. If you don't like the way it is run, start your own subverse or post in one that is more accepting of non-scientific and non-evidence-based material.
Rules (read them all, they are in no particular order)
-
NO medical advice is to be sought on this board.
-
NO pop-science or pseudo-science is to be discussed. This is a board for main-stream medicine. This is a place for hard, medical science. The integrity of this board will not be diminished with the posting of pop/junk science.
-
You do NOT have to be a doctor or nurse to participate in the discussion forum. Questions are encouraged. :-)
-
Be respectful of each other.
-
There is to be NO discussion of any sort about conspiracy theories. They are theories ONLY and do not add any value to any discussion about medicine. Any posts even hinting at a conspiracy theory will be promptly deleted and the user will be banned (if/when this feature becomes available).
-
If you are going to link any sort of article they must be from a reputable source. Again, this is not a place to discuss pop or pseudo science. Articles from the following sites will be deleted and the user banned: naturalnews.com, mercola.come, healthimpactnews.com, activistpost.com. The list will be lengthened as pop and pseudoscience links are posted.
-
Case studies and pictures are acceptable BUT BE MINDFUL OF HIPPA! Any HIPPA violations will be immediately deleted and the user will be banned (if/when this feature becomes available).
-
Medical, nursing, and PA students are encouraged to ask questions!
-
HAVE FUN, GUYS! Lets spread the knowledge of medicine.
-
NO senstaionalist news articles. They do not help medicine and only hurt it by turning lay individuals into "Google MDs." Be wary if you are going to post anti-vaccination, "big-pharma" conspiracy, homeopathic links. They will be scrutinized and removed if deemed to be conspiratorial in any way.
-
This is a knowledge-enhancing and knowledge-based sub, posting about "big pharama" or that "$cience is lying about vaccines" or that "vaccines are highly profitable" is not adding to anyone's knowledge or understanding of medicine.
-
You are encourage to post stories from your clinical experience, just remember to keep HIPPA in mind.
-
Videos are allowed as well, but they are held to the same constraints as web links and journal articles.
-
Pictures of a medical nature are allowed but absolutely NO memes.
