Bumping is anybody has medical questions.
Well in this day and age when you can send all kinds of data digitally a lot of medicine is performed at a distance. Having said that I know a good history and physical exam is worth more than any single test -otherwise a computer could diagnose you.
We have a few specialist on-board and as Bitcoin becomes more widely accepted hopefully more physicians will pop their heads on here.

So I was looking to get some rep in the trading community and realized I didn't feel like doing loans. I have pretty good Heatware but wanted to build up a rep with the Bitcoin community. I guess I'll just have to use my professional skills... so since I am a licensed and practicing medical physician in the state of California I decided I could help with medical questions. I'll do a trial where all the proceeds would go to my medical missions which I do once or twice a year. I am currently practicing only with inpatient medicine so if you got a detailed dermatology question about a rash or itch down there I probably won't be able to help too much (please don't send me pics lol). I did 1 year of urgent care so I can answer most basic outpatient stuff (sprains, headaches, flu vs bacterial illness, heartburn, etc) and I can answer pretty much any internal medicine related question.
So I thought of asking tips from 0.1 BTC to 5 BTC depending on what you think is the complexity of the problem - the link is in my sig. If you're not sure how complicated it is, just send a small amount and you can always tip more afterwards if I give you a good answer. For legal purposes obviously without a physical exam my answers are not the same as seeing a physician in office so my advice is just that - advice. You will need to confirm with your doc if your doc if you're going to be doing something that requires prescription medication or changes in lifestyle.
So just send me a PM with your question and let me know your address so I know if you donated. If you happen to live in the SoCal area and would like to help out on a medical mission let me know. I've been to mundane places like India and exotic lands like Miami, FL with my medical missions

Oh hey, just like "medical consults" over the phone only better. Do you do gyn exams? I'm due.
No Gyn exams. Haven't done one for 6 years and not planning on pick that up again.
So far we have:
FP/IM (me)
Radiologist in residency (bg002h)
Orthopaedic Surgeon (aarashd)
General or vascular Surgeon (CA Coins - not sure what type of surgeon exactly)
Bitcoin Medical Clinic - opening soon.

I am an orthopaedic surgeon, feel free to shoot questions my way (and you can donate to DrG's mission on my behalf)
Still doing consults. If you have questions on labwork or primary care/internal medicine stuff just PM me.
No, bg002h is a radiologist. He was just trying to be helpful I think.
While I'm on the subject of helpfulness, there's quite a few forum members with very odd views about vaccination. I don't have enough medical knowledge to provide in-depth answers, and another forum member has already made some comments on the topic, but another member weighing in might help sway some of the more open minded antivaxxers.

Correct. Radiology resident. As for the antivax stuff, it's more like a religious debate with antivaxxers...in part, under vaccination is why whooping cough is now epidemic in my state. Kids still die of this vaccine preventable disease.

Radiology questions? if you want a film looked at I think we have a Radiologist on this board, check back in the thread for his posting and send him a pic with your question 
No radiology Q's yet I presume?
No more burning urethra questions? 
Today I'm healthy as an ox. Thanks for the help a few months back.
No more burning urethra questions?
It looks like your right upper lid is drooping slightly (so I would say yes for the time being). Have you always had that or is it a recent condition? If it's worsening recently you may want to have it checked out by a neurologist (or ophthalmologist if you had any eye trauma). If it's worsening then you always have to worry about nerve compression from a tumor. Autoimmune and inflammatory causes are usually rarer (esp in males).
This is the kind of condition where a good history and physical can usually give the answer without spending $2k on a head CT/MRI and chest xrays.

Dear Doctor (Students),
I have a pain in my nose everytime I drink my coffee. It only happens right when I'm drinking it and it is extremely uncomfortable.
What can I do?

Take your nose out of the coffee cup!

Actually I found out what the problem is. I wasn't removing my stirring spoon before drinking.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl4plPGRG8o drinking problem. Unfortunately the cure involves sniffing glue
One of the best movies of all time.
Good stuff DrG I just sent you a bitcoin.
I would love to see some very brief advice on how to search med. info in 2012, is PubMed king? Are there any decent AI chatterbot attempts at diagnosis? A few sites you recommend? Thanks.

I find google scholar to be much better than pubmed. If you have access to the journals, also get zotero.

Hey DrG and boognish!
Update: I went to see that specialist, and took him DrG's write-up.
The orthopaedic specialist said your write-up was very good and he agrees with your approach (cautious skepticism regarding surgery, treatment plan, 2 different injuries).
He did some physical tests and told me that the first injury from my wrestling days is probably a chipped piece of cartilage, or possibly a fracture. The chipped piece of cartilage is stopping my arm fully extending by 1-2cm compared with my right arm. I had an x-ray and go back in 2 weeks to see about that. He said that if it is a chipped piece of cartilage then it is probably not a good idea to operate (since it would have healed over during these 4 years), and the way forwards is with physical therapy. Surgery is a last resort.
When I banged my elbow 1 year ago, he says this is scholars elbow and that the tingling/aching I feel, is where the nerve is regenerating itself. And that nerve damage takes a *really really* long time to heal.
I think it is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olecranon_bursitis (not sure)
Overall I'm really happy! Could've been worse! Feel free to chip in with your own diagnostics doctors. Just putting this out there so everyone can see you're the real deal and did such a good job. The specialist liked your write-up. I stopped twice while reading it, but he asked for the whole thing and said it was good.
Keep it up! This is the future and you are doing good by providing people with easy access medicine. Of course, an online doctor is not a replacement for a real specialist, but it is a good supplement that can only help make people more healthier if used in a correct ethical manner.
Hugs & kisses,
Genjix

Sorry for the late reply, got a couple of sick babies really keeping me busy at home
The chipped cartilage sounds about right from my minimal ortho knowledge. Usually if it's a very acute injury (less than 1 month) they can try to remove the chip or stitch it back in the right place. Obviously athletes have access to this more often and it's a common procedure for them. Now it's an old injury so it's probably just scar tissue. You can use rehab to regain some of the mobility back.
It's hard to say what is causing the deep ache in the arm. If I could examine you it would be easier since one would just need to map out where the nerve is being impinged. From what I heard so far it sounded like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_nerve_entrapmentUlnar Nerve entrapment. The easiest way to confirm this would be to do nerve conduction studies but those are both expensive and painful (I had them done myself and it's not fun).
Telemedicine could become quite an opportunity for a payments system that knows no borders.
