Welcome to eyetriage on Lemmy. You can post your questions here, just like you were used to on Reddit.

This message is brought to you by u/remembermereddit, but I’ve chosen to take a batter username this time.

    The sidebar says:

    legal liability is tremendously high for telling someone “eh, it’s probably nothing, don’t worry,”

    I’ve heard this, but really?? Has anyone actually gotten in trouble for saying that online?

    I’ve never heard a news report or lawsuit that says, “John Doe found guilty today in a court of law because he misdiagnosed conjunctivitis.”

    Tremendously high??

      Personally I’m not from the US, so I might not be the best source for this, but I’ve personally never heard an actual case either. This text was written by one of the US-based mods on Reddit, and I trust them for that.
