You have asked me in a thread on Anorexia to stop using the term "No big deal" I feel that is insulting on a forum that deals in opinions. To be fair you are not the only one to object to my terminology, but on the other hand many people find it helpful. I can only reply with my medical cap on and will continue to do so, accepting of course that it is a "big deal" to those who have posted. For clarification: Big Deal= life threatening No Big deal= not life threatening. I have taken your comment on board, but can see no valid reason to change my methodology. Sqad 01/09/2009

you are getting yourself in a lot of hot water lately,
Is that really a medical term then,?(big deal,) cos if i had gone to the dentist for a tooth extraction, and he'd said no big deal, I would have kicked him in the nuts,
But having said that, I have heard worse,
ie, i have actually been called a cabbage in one hospital.
rock on.

I understand where you are coming from Sqad with your definition. However not every poster will know this definition and may take the phrase at face value and see it as dismissive.
In the specific example you mention i would also suggest caution in use of the term as anorexia can be life threatening.
