Days ago, I requested the medical professionals in ast to take the
lead, and come up with posts that could make this ng more
intellectually stimulating.  I did not expect my call drew a volley of
criticism from so many participants.  I would imagine that many people
are grateful to doctors for having bestowed their precious time to
answer, and only answer, questions.  I personally would like to ask a
bit more.  We have holders of ph.d degrees in this ng that could keep
us abreast of what is happening in the frontier technology of tinnitus
treatment, we have foreign doctors or doctors outside the domain of the
Anglo-American medical establishment that could bring us ideas not
entertained in the US, and we have doctors who are practicing daily and
these doctors could share with us their day to day experience with
patients.

I am sure if they could do that, this group would involve more than
just the boring subject of habituation and long term prescription of
addictive drugs against t symptoms.  But then again, having known many
doctors and have many old schoolmates as doctors, I do realize that
many people, such as some doctors, while having the aptitude for hard
work or work of a physical nature, are incapable of intellectual
production either due to the lack of imagination or of language
proficiency.  On the basis of the latter, I do make allowance for their
inability to do more than what they have done.

So, doctors, just lurk and answer questions, if that is all you could
have done with the 'education' you have had.
