The topic of health covers physical as well as mental items. Many do not require outside consultation such as creating a more calming atmosphere in your home. ?????? While e-mail can be a pain as some people overuse it, you may find your doctor more receptive to discussing information with you. If their business card has an e-mail address, use it. But be very much to the point so that will read all you have to say, understand your question and are able to provide a net reply. Newsgroups are actually public chat rooms where on-screen discussions take place. Mailing list are similar to newsgroups in that the same information is avaialble, but you receive it via email rather having to be on line at the time the conversation is taking place. To find newsgroups and mailing lists check with Dr. Tom Ferguson, MD.
