Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

MODERATORS
When I was a clinic assistant and in my current role as a student, I have done my best to kind of "run interference" by getting some portion of the next appointments done to give the physician more cover and keep the next patients from getting too mad about the wait. I also give an explanation with my apologies, saying something like "we had a bit of an emergency come up", or "the previous patient ended up needing more time than we had scheduled" while apologizing for the delays.
