Ok, so whats the difference if someone posts to reddit or a site dedicated to solving problems? That person is still going to consult the masses, they might as well be educated. And my thinking here is less about it being a generalized medical board and much more about concentrating educated brainpower on solving chronic conditions. You could flip this around and make it a private tool for the doctor to use in extreme situations. Not even let the patient use it. Say you live in podunk South Dakota. You go to the only doctor in town. Do they have the expertise to solve a complex condition? What if they aren't very good? How are they supposed to help you if your other options are out of reach? In this scenario a doctor with limited experience can tap into the crowd and get specialists chiming in from areas they would never think about. Pretty useful solution, I'd say
