Re: Policy about naming doctor's names

I have wondered the same thing. I saw a post or two saying that we should not name names, but I didn't see that as a rule on the rules page: http://forums.obgyn.net/pcos/rules.html

On the other hand, on the general disclaimer page, it says that a good use of these forums is for "Referrals to hard-to-find specialists."

Maybe it was included as a rule later and they never amended the rules page. I can see the logic in both sides, so I'm not trying to start an arguement.
