What are people thinking when they post serious medical symptoms on YA rather than go to the hospital?
I%26#039;ve seen people ask questions about serious burns, stroke, acid in the eyes, bleeding, swelling of the throat to the point of not being able to breath, you name it...
I think people are hoping that %26quot;it%26#039;s nothing%26quot; and someone here is going to tell them That the same thing happened to them and to take an aspirin or use a hot compress and all their problems will be over.

I think it%26#039;s more about denial and fear than anything else.
