[edit] Did you know?

On 13 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Calcific tendonitis, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

-- Great article, well done! GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 01:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prostatitis

Considering that Trigger Point Therapy is listed on the List of branches of alternative medicine page, I think it's a good candidate for removal from the main article. However, due to the particular unreliability of Wikipedia on the topic of medicine, I've since decided to refrain from editing or consulting the articles for my own information. In my view, these topics should be the exclusive realm of the accredited medical professionals who are specialists in each particular field. As to your second question, "Why are you editing medical pages if you have no knowledge of the subject matter?", one might ask the same thing of you. --Boradis 02:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I actually know a great deal about the prostate and prostatitis. I am a specialist in the area. I don't give a tinker's cuss what you've found listed somewhere else on WP as your motivation for wholesale editing of medical pages, but desist if that is not your area of expertise. As far as trigger point therapy goes, I suggest you go to PubMed and enter "trigger point" and see how many respected journals are discussing it and how mainstream it has become. Start here. ◄██ Unit 5 (Talk) ██► 00:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the advice. You must have a really gentle and polite bedside manner. Your patients are so lucky to have a friendly and patient physician for whom educating the public is more important than chewing out a total stranger online. --Boradis 16:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
