CLIPPERS: Looking to connect with others

@donnyboy I want to make a big clarification to my last response to you!! Where I said, “we can’t believe everything that is said on Mayo Connect.” Big mistake. Of course, we can believe what is said on Connect. But there are some ‘old wives tales’ or strange things that worked for one person, but there is no scientific proof to back it up. We just have to watch what we say and read. Believe in the science.

Yes, there is the need to guard against embracing an old wives tale or extremely unique treatment. There is also the need to not pick up on something posted in just a single post, without going back to the poster's previous posts to understand the context and meaning of their post. This reminds me of politicians who highlight something an opponent once said, while ignoring the context or question that gave rise to the opponent's statement. What is posted on Connect needs to be evaluated and this takes time and judgment.
