You can answer these questions using search engines such as Google, Firefox, or Safari.

2. When looking at the "About Us" at RYT Hospital/Dwayne Medical Center, are you able to find any emails/contact phone numbers?

6. When using the Google.com search engine, are you able to find a website for the RYT Hospital/Dwayne Medical Center?
7. After viewing the website, what is the purpose of reading it and what is the name of the male who gave birth?
1) The only doctor’s name I could find was Dr. Phineas Liu but I could not locate and real credentials for him.
ReplyDelete2) No, none whatsoever. In Fact, I couldn't find any contact information anywhere.
3) The only “scientific explanation” I could find was under the science of male pregnancy tab, but there were no links or references to back up the claims there.
4) The authors of the website appear to be the RYT Hospital Dwayne Medical Center, but even this is very unclear.
5) No, I could find none of that.
6) Yes, but there are also many other links claiming the site is a hoax. Also, on the RYT Hospital/Dwayne Medical Center there is a disclaimer stating, "The information on RYT Hospital-Dwayne Medical Center's web site is provided as a general reference; it is not to be used or relied upon for any medical decisions, diagnostic purposes, or medical treatments. This information is not intended to be patient education, and it does not create any patient-physician relationship. This site should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a medical professional."
7) The site seems to be a joke made for entertainment purposes. I believe the man's name is Mr. Lee Mingwei.
