Crystal Clear Query: Absolutely. Healthtap is an informational service and is designed to address your general questions about medical topics. A prudent adult would differentiate between an emergency and the desire to obtain reliable general information in an online setting. Having a personal physician or "medical home" is always a good idea and helps to develop a long term relationship for your overall healthcare.
