How often do you casually dispense medical advice to strangers? Especially without qualifying yourself as a SME expert (or non-expert), or at the very least providing reference sources or other supporting documentation?

Edit: @djmips: Are you familiar with the differences between medical and non-medical advice? The potential repercussions of you following my potentially bad advice on programming are vastly different from the possible fallout from encouraging someone to mess with their medication dosing. The responsible thing to do is refrain, because some people are on a very specific regimen for good reasons. In a medical context, sharing one's own experience (and qualifying it as such) is often appreciated, however this is not how I would characterize the structure of the parent comment.

I hope this helps, I only wish the best for you and others.

Edit 2: @freeflight: Thanks for following up.
