A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
That doesn’t sound at all like what they’re doing. You’re saying what you would be doing most likely.
They are asking how to quickly identify a medical diagnosis that can’t be quickly identified, especially by lay people, so they can act on it. It can’t be done and it’s unethical. They are not a bad person for asking, but carrying it out would be wrong.
I mean, only OP can clarify what they actually meant. I was just sharing my interpretation, which I will say leans heavily on the final "in order to not burn myself" line.
Then why are you trying to clarify for them, especially in such a way that is so far from what they wrote? I am taking them at face value. There isn’t a whole lot to infer here. They are trying to diagnose their boss. It’s irresponsible to support this. This isn’t two buddies sitting at a bar speculating about someone they know.
