Carmen makes a good point. I do agree that a lot of things posted on the FA could probably be answered on google/looking at olds threads or by just assuming the advice will be to go to see a doctor, but a) sometimes people need that personalised response to assure them that they're not over-reacting and b) there are lots of different ways to seek medical advice and it can be helpful to signpost people so they know whether a pharmacist, nurse, GP, 111, out-of-hours GP, A&E or an ambulance would be the best course of action.
