Could Ab Be Unique?

[nicebloke1]

Being the only social media to have a retired doctor who gives free advice if and when he sees fit.

[Hopkirk]

It's no big deal

[nicebloke1]

Whats no big deal?

[brainiac]

Well, he says he's a retired doctor.....

[nicebloke1]

Well he would be breaking a very serious law if not. And i very much doubt thats the case. Second one this week to insult him.

[nailedit]

Also got an ex con that gives advice :-)
Also retired teachers, a lawyer, DIY experts, etc

[andres]

How do you know Ab is the only site to have a retired doctor?

[ladybirder]

Sqad is a retired doctor. He put details of his qualifications and posts he has held on here a few years ago. Also, another ABer on here knows him and his wife.
I also think the Ed confirmed that he is at the time it was queried by another ABer yonks ago.

I don't know why you doubt him brainiac. Very unkind of you.

[jennyjoan]

I love Sqad and depend on him very much so don't be disparaged about him nicebloke or perhaps not very nice bloke.

[Zacs-Master]

Naomi, why don’t you just shut the thread down. It’s obviously a wind up so why are they allowed to continue?

[jno]

what has nicebloke said to upset Sqad or anyone else??

[Zacs-Master]

Look at his question history, jno.

[barry1010]

There used to be a vicar, too, almost saintly.
He was too good to be true, a fake and con artist.
Sqad is the genuine article.

[Hopkirk]

Nicebloke, you obviously haven't been around long enough to understand my answer.

Sqad's reply if he considers a reported ailment as not worrying, is usually 'no big deal'.

If he doesn't say that, then the person should be worried.

I'm looking at this question, ZM.

If people have problems with what he says in other questions, they should tackle it there, not in an unrelated post that seems to praise an ABer.

I suspect if a number of posters put all their qualifications on here we might be pleasantly surprised. I estimate there are a number of retired scientists,at least one OT, a couple of physios, a fair few nurses ( between us we cover most of the common specialities)at least two regulars qualified to give legal advice, a couple of gardeners, and The Builder( who may or may not be Tommy Walsh but answers in similar style.) And a few computer geeks ( the term used with respect rather than as an insult) and enough birdwatching to cause a major twitch. Not sure how many ex teachers but there are probably at least five, it's just learning who to trust on what subject and filtering out the rest.

[nicebloke1]

Naomi 24. You need to start to recongnise a geuine question along with a few other posters on here instead of trying to make it into something thats not there. I raised yhe question because of the amount of medical advice being given on the internet thsts pretty expensive ok. Stop goading.

[nicebloke1]

Ps zac, take a look at your histoy. You only tend to join a jump on to AB for adding futher problems. Theres none to ne had on this Op only the ones you wish to manufacture.

Thank you nicebloke, I make it a rule to try and post in a reasonable way if I feel I can contribute.
