someone asks your professional opinion regarding a physical problem; To
cover yourself, you remind them that you are NOT a medical doctor, but
explain that if you had the condition, you would try certain simple things
hoping for and expecting to obtain relief--Then, they ask "Would something
else be just as good?" and perhaps it might; however, if you were aware of
both and recommended the first, it sort of makes you feel funny and wonder,
why did you come to ask me?

Dear Richard,
I don't mean to minimize what you wrote in the rest of you post (which I tend to
agree with) but have a comment on this first part.
This situation reminds me of an MD who recommended a Cortisone compound for me
to use in my eyes for Episcleritis (inflammation of the sclera, the surface of
the white part of the eye). I would get this every year about the same time.
The second or third year I asked him if it was necessary to use the Cortisone to
treat the eye and what would happen if I didn't. He said that it would probably
go away by itself and that I could use aspirin in the meantime for the inflammation!
Well, needless to say, I stopped using the Cortisone drops. The outcome was the
same.
(Now I just spray some colloidal silver in my eyes and don't have any
problem...;-))
The point is, YES!, definitely ask! The person who is asking does not know all
the ins and outs of the situation, does not know what thought process you used
to come up with your recommendation, etc. Otherwise, they will have to end up
treating your recommendation as DOGMA. Don't take it personally, they need to
know enough to make their own informed decisions.
This is the principle behind the saying:
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime."

PS This reminds me of another little parable...
I was working with an Electrical Engineer on an very obscure problem we had on a
circuit he had designed. He went away and studied the situation diligently for
a full week! Finally he figured out and understood the problem. He rushed down
to me and explained it to me in one minute. He could not comprehend why I did
not follow, in one minute, what it had taken him 40 HOURS to understand!...
(sigh...)
