DrugBuyers.Com: Been labelled a DRUGSEEKER

To sonick and anyone else I may have made timid by my advice,

I really was not aware I was doing this, and there is no point in a my perception vs. your peception argument. The way I speak I guess is kind of crass, I'm a very blunt person, I like to get my point across and that's that. I don't mean for people to read into it, what I'm saying is what I'm saying. When I say a person is "experiencing" something or "should be doing" something, it's my opinion. I certainly don't mean to imply my way is the only way. And I can be wrong too, just like anyone else. Plenty of doctors make mistakes, too, as you all know from being chronic pain sufferers.

I'm still not 100% sure exactly what we are talking about, but if you or the few other people who feel I've made them somehow timid to finish their thread, then why not just PM me about it, so I know not to do it to you next time, if it is that big of a deal?

I send and receive PM's from lots of people. Some people ask for medical advice, and I am more than happy to help if I can, but I always tell them I'm not a doctor yet. Some people ask for prescriptions, which I am not even able to write yet. Some people tell me I'm not really a medical student, I just cut and paste everything I say from medical websites. Some people tell me I am a sellout or a piece-of-s**t for joining the medical profession that has so wronged them. I've even been asked how to help someone fake a medical condition, and as a chronic pain sufferer myself, I have to say that offends me. So in spite of all the help I've given, I take a lot of sh*t, too, which I think is worth putting up with to help the many people on this board worthy of it.

And btw, for anyone who thinks I'm some overpriveleged smarta$$, I'm assuming virtually all of my six figure debt for college and med school myself. I worked my a$$ off for everything I have accomplished. This is on top of coming from a broken family and being a chronic pain sufferer myself. There are a lot of other personal problems too, but that is my business only. I have done a d*mn good job of dealing with problems, and have accomplished quite a bit, much of it in the name of helping other people. So, I'm entitled to moodiness sometimes, too, as is everyone else.

Sonick, I am still not sure what thread you are talking about, but I guess it doesn't make a difference at this point. I respond to lots of threads BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP YOU PEOPLE- NOT BECAUSE I LIKE TO HEAR MYSELF TALK, and I don't keep track of individual things I said to people.

As for the PM I sent you regarding mood-altering substances, I'm sorry, I have to laugh at that. I meant for an edge of humor to be implied, it was not at all my intention to offend you.

As far as false judgements go, don't be so sure I've judged you until I explicitly say so. I have a kibbitzing sense of humor and manner of speaking (anyone who knows what kibbitzing means, give yourself 100 points). That's just the way I am, take it or leave it. What I will do, however, is correct false medical information as I believe the harm in someone reading that outweighs any overblown personal politics issue.

So to conclude this very vague reply to a very vague post, if you feel I have wronged you in some way, please PM me and tell me, don't just sit around and mull over it, then put up suggestive comments in your posts. TELL ME and we will FIX IT.

I am sorry to sidetrack this thread, as I don't like when other people do it to mine, but I wanted to keep it about redhill and his problems, but I'm just giving my response to another post.
