Community guidelines
Updated 2 November 2026
Share a real case
Tell people what happened, what has been tried, and what you want help understanding. New cases appear publicly as soon as they are submitted. Anyone can read, discuss and comment. You do not need approval before posting.
Leave out names
Do not add your name, a patient’s name, phone numbers, email addresses, record numbers or other identifying details. Check photos and documents before sharing. Share another person’s case only when you have permission and the right to share it.
Help each other
Be respectful. Explain your experience and reasoning. Make clear what you know and what is uncertain. Do not impersonate a doctor, promote products, harass people or copy private records.
Use discussions as a starting point
A similar case may have a different cause. Discuss ideas with the doctor caring for you before changing treatment. SameCase does not diagnose you or guarantee that a case will be solved. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical care.
Report a problem
Use the report option or contact us with the case link if content identifies someone, is abusive or needs correction. We can remove content or suspend accounts after a report. Earlier private submissions remain private.
Read our privacy policy and terms.
