‘I also stated in that post “given what we know form online”’
Which I specifically acknowledged when I said: “based on some information they read on the internet”.
“Also a strawman as I never claimed she diagnosed anyone. It was clearly presented as an opinion.”
An opinion from a person you specifically stated was a medical professional (a nurse). A nurse SHOULD know it’s unethical and improper to issue a diagnosis, or even a medical opinion about someone they haven’t even met, much less examined.
If it is just their personal opinion, then it’s just plain stupid and not unethical I suppose.
It is unethical to diagnose as you said. My post was a specific response to the challenge that another poster had no particular expertise as to what a suicide profile may be.
I responded with a person who actually does and stated from what was given it did not fit, was not a diagnosis but did provide context.
Can you really not see the distinction? Is it you position a person trained as such cannot have an opinion or speak to the matter unless they are giving a diagnosis? That would literally neuter any trained person’s ability to exercise their free speech, preventing them from ever commenting on the subject about anything they actually know about.
How would they transfer any knowledge at that point to others?
