Life is about experience and sharing that experience. Many patients, as well as their families and friends, with medical conditions find they need to liaise with others with similar problems. There is consolation and comfort in finding that they are not alone. Some find it helpful to write or speak about their experience and others are happy to read or listen. The value of the good will and support offered by these groups cannot be underestimated. From the professional point of view, these groups are not in any way accountable for the advice that they offer. Nevertheless, their motives are entirely positive.
