Apologies for disappointing you, my inbox is flooded with medical advice queries: I could answer them 24/7 and still not get to all of them. Honestly I’m not sure what to do, literally dozens every day, and each one requires thought, most provide incomplete information.https://twitter.com/fairy_garcia_/status/1382885991061544972 …

I suspect that many are a "last best hope" effort, so the know they've done everything they can imagine.

Sure, and I know it's hard. I get emails from people whose family member has fallen for quackery or antivax. I answer if I have time and think I can contribute something useful because I feel for these people. But I don't feel too guilty any more when I'm too busy and just can't.

Basically, you have to take care of yourself and your real job first and are under no obligation to wipe yourself out trying to respond to all these inquiries. Once you learn that, it's liberating. And I say this as someone who doesn't get nearly the amount of this sort of mail.

I appreciate that advice Dr Gorski, very much!
