i've been keeping an eye on this thread and i just want to take a second to thank everyone who has replied with their own personal advice, opinions and knowledge in an effort to help answer medic's questions.
politically correct or not, i believe everyone is doing their best to help. we don't want to discourage people from posting and offering up their opinions here out of fear of being criticized. i'm not saying everyone has to agree all the time. if everyone had the same views on everything then the world would just flat out suck. i just think we need to be a lil more courteous to those who are taking time to try and help. that's all.
