Could someone please give me some medical advice? [View all]

Please post some medical advice for me in this thread.

I hope at least one person responds, because when I get up in the morning with my coffee and sign into DU...and that yellow light is on indicating that someone responded?

I...I can't really express how excited I get.

I sit there and look at the yellow light for several minutes before looking at the actual response. Doing this builds up a huge amount of excitement, and is a great way to start the day.

I just stare at that yellow light and wonder "WHAT DID THEY SAY???" before i actually look at the response. The tension is incredible.

While I'm thinking about it, I would like to thank the administrators for putting in the yellow light system.

thank you very much, DU administrators.
