Question:
This is a scenario that I was reading and was wondering if you think the guy has HSV and what you all thought of the doctor's response:

Answer:
thats so funny i read that awhile ago and thought the doctor was full of shit.
agree that usually doctors wont jump to a herpes conclusion unless they actually do see sores, then his whole intro to the damn reply is about ngu- #2 of his thing, then says it doesnt do any of the things the person described. **good job doc***
ugh then he guarentees that someone online cant always be right, and says u dont have herpes.

i would never, ever ,ever, take advice from him, and if my doc ever said that to me i would refuse to pay.

Answer:
I think you're right WW. Plus the online doctor never disagrees with other doctors - professional courtesy I guess. Sounds like people would get a better on-line diagnosis if they didn't mention the results of a previous doctor's in-person diagnosis.

I was going to post a question on that site but it costs $15.
