Removal of recent post

[MAS_Nurse]

Hi Folks,

I am posting this because we regretfully had to remove a recent post that implied the need for professional medical help. Although an incredible level of support and advice exists in this community it is anonymous, online and not professional in nature. In a critical situation anonymous, online advice carries the risk of misjudgement and harm, however well-intentioned. We have to stick to our rule of taking down this type of post for safety's sake.

We have contacted the member with advice and contact details for services that can provide the appropriate level of advice to get through their situation. From the bottom of our heart, we wish them well from the whole community and hope that they can get through this situation as quickly as possible.

it is worth all members from time to time, to refresh themselves of our Community Guidelines and T&C's (bottom of Homepage).

Hi BOB, as hypercat has said, we have made contact with this member offering advice and support. They have not done anything to 'offend', but were at high risk of actual harm, and so we have to take action accordingly to protect them and other forum members.

I will reiterate this in my post.

Hope this clarifies things?

Best wishes,
