Hi Daryl!
DS> I have a message base locally called "The Doctor Is In".
DS> Every 3 days, I have several posts (that recycle every 90
DS> days) on several medical topics. They are not meant to
DS> replace advice from your own PCP or specialist, but it would
DS> add some traffic to this echo. I would like to know if it's
DS> OK to post these before I proceed.
BM> Sure. :) As long as the source doesn't have restrictions other than
BM> perhaps listing them as the source and the like.
DS> The data was obtained from the WebMD website, and I give credit
DS> to such in the monthly summary posting. It's like doing a term
DS> paper, and giving the needed citations/credit to it. I will add
DS> this to the batchfiles for it.
That might work. ...

I don't know: that paragraph referenced downloading 'personal, non-
commercial use' but I couldn't find anything allowing nor disallowing
redistribution. There is a 'fair use' copyright clause (in Copyright
Law) but this seems to overstep, or at least eventually it would. As
much as I'd like to see the material here I'm thinking no because of
eventual legal issues for ILink. If you or someone else can provide
reference to the contrary I would allow -- some lists/posts have a
'freely distributable' statement.

Agree, though we're on the side of "it's OK when necesssary". There are
some religious customs which contradict medical -- guess 'examinations'
would be a suitable word here. Student friend from New Jersey refused
to remove a metal religious necklace during a cervical X-ray - got into
an arguement with the radiologist. Another student friend was Mormon
and wore whatever the one-piece underwear is called; created problems
for physical examinations.
DS> I personally would rather have the females working over my

I can think of a few - umm - remarks but I don't dare post 'em!
DS> With the scourge of cancer (I doubt any family has escaped

DS> 1) Heart Disease (both sexes)

DS> 3) Colon Cancer (both sexes -- one of the most preventable)
DS> 4) Prostate Cancer (males)
DS> In short, if you're not proactive on your health, you're sure
DS> to be sorry.
Seems a lot of people don't know a thing, or figure popping a pill will
solve. Some run to the doctor at the sign of a hangnail while others
will 'tough out' a kidney stone or heart attack.
As much as I tend not liking to go to various doctors I do think it is a
good thing to have the 6-month or yearly check-up. I see and deal with
myself every day; the doctor every few months. Something slowly
evolving may be unnoticed by me because I observe me constantly whereas
the doctor see a 'snapshot' over a long period of time.
