SC - Fw: [Chirurgeon]: Topic for discussion: "Public Health"

[Caitlin Cheannlaidir]

Hi Phlip!  It's Caitlin (from the Pennsic woods battle).... 

As a chirurgeon, it's hard for me to accept that there are any areas of
public health and safety that are "off limits" for discussion and advice....

as a cook my instinct is to ask the chirurgeons to stick to their own
knitting....

I guess I feel like one person, in whatever role they occupy, should be
able to advise another, politely, of known or observed hazards of any
type... but ought to be alert to the possibility that they are talking to
someone whose attention to these matters may have greatly exceeded theirs.  

And just between you and me, I find it funny that this question is coming
from Macsen, who advertises himself as a "reformed chirurgeon," makes a big
deal out of the fact that he doesn't hold a warrant, and who just finished
vociferously arguing that we don't have any right to mention to someone
that they might not want to fight with a broken arm....
