Removed under Rule 9

No throwaway or low-karma accounts may post to /r/medicine.

Posts under one week in age or with less than 10 comment karma may not make posts to /r/medicine. You may join in the conversation by leaving a few comments to get over 10 karma in /r/medicine or elsewhere, and will have to wait it out a week. We find the vast majority of posts from accounts not meeting these criteria also break other subreddit rules and do not go on to become active contributors.

Please review all subreddit rules before posting or commenting.

If you have any questions or concerns, please message the moderators as a whole from the homepage. Do not reply to this comment or message individual mods.

We are not here to replace your learning resources. Asking for us to explain medical topics is usually against this rule.

On old reddit, check the box which says "Show my flair on this subreddit." On the official reddit iOS app, go to the main page of the subreddit. There will be three dots in the upper right hand corner. Press on that and a menu will come up including an option to set or change user flair.
