rofl these people r not really giving u any useful info to help diagnose anything lol
unless theres more info, even if gallstones, wouldn't u still need to ask at least a few more questions?
of course lol! and there is so much more to work up and you should always do a physical before jumping to any conclusions...
giving free definitive diagnosis on the internet is a GG way to get sued or lose a license

gallstone? assuming pain was in r hypochondriac quadrant
tough to say with that level of detail.... asking more specific questions leads me to suspect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CostochondritisI talked with her about it but told her to see her own MD so he can examine... she will follow up with me after it. haha maybe im right, maybe im not---- but n/n getting sued

similar to yoloswag for me.. only been asked once to help someone move
but people somewhat commonly message me and (more-often) irl friends/acquaintances text/ask me about some certain topic in science/physiology like how something works or about a new study, etc.
Not really "medical" advice though.
then ofc a bombardment of messages from various forumers but that's expected for us all (lightman, you - burns, yoloswag, cloud, gearz, etc)
that's how it starts

then bam -- if u go to med school, within the first semester people will be asking for a diagnosis!
always remember to include "she wants the D" in the differential
even last night these girls were worrying about nothing lol
it is like there is too much information available online now and they're just worried about everything they read ---- inb4 everybody get NMS (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/816018-overview)

while i can't give anybody a diagnosis or tell them that everything will for sure be okay, i like to think i make a small difference by putting their mind at ease at least temporarily and guiding them towards seeking appropriate treatment
