The staff of the ARDS Support Center does not encourage or
participate in Chat Room Activities having to do with medical matters.
The ASC website facilities can not be used to promote or encourage
Chat Room activities. It is the position of the ARDS Support Center
that qualified physicians or other medical personnel monitor and
supervise any Chat Room discussions that concern medical matters.
Note: It has come to our attention that facilities of the ARDS
Support Center have been used by persons not associated with the ASC
to encourage individuals to participate in Chat Room activity
involving medical matters. The ARDS Support Center website Mission
statement clearly prohibits this practice and those persons have been
asked to discontinue the unauthorized use of ASC facilities for this
purpose.
