Unfortunately we have no real culture of self help groups, but if we did they would be like here.. but IRL.
And I also agree with Venus that everyone doesn't want to run to their doc for every minor question. I sure don't want to. If I can find the answer myself I do. Also when I ask something online, I'm not a slave to the answer, it's just some input I can put in the back of my mind while I keep thinking.
