Should ByeDr.com Medicine/Health answerers be given a NHS subsidy?

I mean- there's so many serious health issues that people ask about without first referring to their local doctor- it's absurd.
If you're sick or feel unwell or notice anything wrong/abnormal/sore/leaking/fa... off- for the love of God- see a blimmin' doctor!
Better safe than sorry and you'll get a bit of exercise too!Should ByeDr.com Medicine/Health answerers be given a NHS subsidy?
Many people who ask questions have already been to their doctor and are still lacking an explanation for their problem.
Many have a general heath question that they don't want to bother their GP. Also many people are less adept at surfing for answers than some of us, and also want a more personal answer.
I have been answering questions on health, and remember that is only a small fraction of answers, for three months, and would like to feel that at least a few people have been able to improve their understanding of the issues that were troubling them.
Surely there is room in these technological times for many sources of information.
I always advise people to see a doctor when they ask about things medical. But to answer YOUR question (which I suspect was rhetorical): no. Yahoo has enough money without subsidies.
