- One question = one page, written as people actually ask it: “Which department should I see for …?”
- Content covers general medical principles only (which department usually handles a symptom). No specific hospital, doctor or region is named.
- This is not a diagnosis or treatment advice. Causes and treatment are decided with a doctor in person.
- Emergency signs point only to “ER / 119”. No drug names or doses.
