If someone Private Messages me and asks me who my doctor is, should I tell them?

I got a PM saying "who is your doctor, mine is Dr *blank*, is that who yours is?"

It just seemed a little suspicious and I don't know what the rules on these type of things are.

hmmm... I would go by how long the person has been on the board.

HOWEVER!!! I have been known to tell newbies to ask around when they see someone from their area when they are searching for a new LLMD.

We can give them NAMES, but they need help on who to choose from those in the trenches.

Maybe I shouldn't recommend this line of finding out info.

lymielaura,

i felt the same way when people were pming me about my doc.

My LLMD, to me, is like close family.

I have simply not responded to some pm's because i was not sure if my doc would be safe.


I think it's sad we even have to worry about that...
...really sad.
