Welcome to THE OFCN MEDICAL CLINICS. In this area, you will find a wealth of medical information. The purpose of this area is provide material for personal and community education. Although it may be tempting to use this medium for individual issues, do not rely on computer-based data to diagnose or treat medical conditions. The only safe way to take care of a medical problem is by direct consultation with a doctor.
This area is staffed by several Medical Doctors from a variety of specialties, who will provide medical information and answer questions. All questions will be posted anonymously, so that no one can tell who wrote the question. This allows the questioner to ask about things that might be very personal without concerns about embarrassment.
The OFCN HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLINIC is staffed by volunteer experts in various locations throughout the world. Because these individuals have other full-time responsibilities, it may take several days for questions to be answered and posted.
