I had a surgery in October and was using a similar support forum - I was floored when I went to see my surgeon and he brought up something I'd posted on that forum. I know it is public, and I used my state in my name and posted that he was my doctor, giving him a favorable review, but it was still a little bit of a jolt to know he was reading it...not exactly the same as a T reading but kind of similar...I haven't mentioned to my T that I'm on here.
