The cash prizes are inconsequential compared to the liability a physician would take on. There are exactly zero insurance carriers that would cover any malpractice claim as a result of consulting on this site. Despite what the FAQ says about this "not constituting a doctor patient relationship." Good luck with that in court.
- minthd 12y agoYou can always use some other name,not use the title doctor, or even try to stay anonymous-Like the other non-doctors who consult on this platform. I'm sure the non-doctors on this aren't exposed to any legal risk, or else the FDA would have closed this site already.
- Heewg9 12y agoUm, most of the medical professional bodies in the world would consider it professionally dishonest to offer any form of medical advice as a Doctor whilst hiding behind anonymity, and would likely start disciplinary proceedings over this.
- jrockway 12y agoUnless the NSA is one of those professional bodies, you can probably stay anonymous on the Internet successfully.
- minthd 12y agoWhy would a medical body would have problem with a doctor - who doesn't use his title or name - that posts info on a forum ? he isn't deceiving people in any way , and he isn't using his title in a wrong way.
