The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.

If you have these, go to the ER. Really. You have the Internet's permission.

If you have just or are currently experiencing one or more of the following, don't post about it here. Go directly to the ER. You can give us the story AFTER your life's not in danger.

*Venomous (poisonous) snake bites

*necrotic wounds

*compound fractures or fractures involving a limb

*stabbings

*shootings

* frostbite

*any wound that bleeds for more than 60 minutes

* any sort of wound that either squirts or makes a "sucking" noise

* any sort of wound where there may be a foreign object still inside the wound

* any vomiting or diarrhea that doesn't go away after 24 hours

* fluid in the lungs

* severe allergic reactions

* ingested toxins of a sufficient quanity that you'll need to have your stomach pumped (ALSO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POISON CONTROL CENTER!)
* sudden loss of vision, hearing, balance or equilibrium

* any wound where an object pierced deep into your body (like stepping on a nail, etc.)

This is a list of things from a post SammyF made, with a few of my own additions. It's good advice.

    Uh, okay. Most of these seem pretty obvious, but still good list I guess.

    I think the list should say:

    "Are you worried about something enough to try to self-diagnose it, or ask questions about it on the internet? Go see a doctor."

    Not obvious enough if there are still people asking.
