Subject: Something I need to understand....

Who do people insist on posting medical problems/issues here? What could possibly be going through their minds? The Flood makes me sick some times....

Example

Mental Retardation is a serious issue and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Because The Flood, at the right times, can be more helpful than WebMD or Google...? Especially if bobcast or other medical people are online - though that still doesn't help when some people refuse to go to the ER.

Either contribute to the topic or get the -blam!- out....I'm in no mood for -blam!- tonight.

People lack originality. I think it's typically a case of "anything for a topic idea" or "anything for some attention"... No different than any of the other "wut do?" topics.

I honestly don't think people take The Flood seriously enough to expect serious medical advice, let alone follow any that's given.

Pathetic....I agree with what Daz said in that thread I linked...

Does this look like a hospital?

Don't try to seek medical advice on The Flood. Doctors and hospitals exist for a reason.
Such threads should automatically locked.

The joke implies that such members of the flood are stupid, in case you didn't get it...

You'll have to excuse me, I had a whole day dealing with a scum and to come here and have to see more...It gets old.

Because people are trying to help Bobcast further his career in emergency medicine.

Sometimes the Flood can be helpful, if you can time it to where the trolls are low on activity. If I had something going on like what the OP in that thread said was going on I wouldn't come here for Q&A's I would call 911.

The Flood is the absolute last place I would ask for life advice.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Beacause everyone knows everyone on the Flood is a doctor.

Though I question the mindset of a person who seeks medical advice from a video game developers forum, the most likely reason as stated above is an excuse to post a thread. It is (hopefully) likely they consulted at least a good search of battery acid or WebMD already and simply just want to talk about it.

I personally think it is a form of blogging via the flood and said threads should be locked. But I'm not a ninja either...

I don't even see it as blogging, it's just straight up spam....and majority of the time these types of threads attract negative attention.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

After seeing so many of those threads, I'm not even sure which ones are factual anymore. I would assume that if anyone really wanted to post their grief/illness/problem seriously they would do it in community and they would be a respected member. However, now that I've said that, it would most like be in a private group. This has led me to the conclusion that any problems posted in the flood are trolls.

That's how I'm treating these threads from now on...I don't care how dire the situation is made out to be...no person in their right mind would even think to waste time and post such things on a video game site.

I agree with you that they are spam. I see them as blogging due to the fact they are posting details of their life to the internet ergo blogging.

I love you [b]

Nerf love.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I don't know why they do. Most of my replies and the floods consist of the response "committ suicide"
