As an answer to: Re: What you aren't really saying... written by Jim at 02 Apr 2003 18:02:36:
Let me tell you something about myself, Jim. I went to see a doctor, and he recommended an operation (dorsal slit). I was all over him with my questions about other people that had the same condition etc. We have no reason to assume that AJ didn't ask the doctor very carefully about his other patients who had the same problem. I'm quite sure he did. But in your case, Jim and PaulB, you're not doctors and you don't have any patients, thus AJ must adress his questions directly to you. By the way, this is Internet, and everyone is anonymous.
>AJ, to show you how irrelevant it really is, let's examine your history. You claim that you had a case of phimosis, so you sought out help for it, is that right? You claim that you visited at least two doctors for help, right? When you saw the doctors, you trusted their expertise in solving problems related to the phimosis, right?
>In either case, did you question your doctor about his life to determine if he had personally suffered from the same situation that you did? My guess is that you simply when on his word that he knew what he was talking about, right? His experience in dispensing information was good enough for you, wasn't it? How do you see that situation as different from the situation of dispensing exercise information here? If you didn't know whether the doctor's status, why would you care about my status?
