WebMD

No I havent checked that site out but I do constantly think that there is something wrong with me,if I have a headache that lasted days i think I have a tuma or when I get a cramp I have a twisted bowel,I always think the worst of every possible situation,but I did have a neighbour that actually took it one step further if she fell over she would just go and hire crutches or when she hurt her neck she went and brought a neck brace she wa so nuts like that she never got colds it was always pneamonia!!

I have some medical problems so I do go to sites like webMD. I usually use it to check up on what the doctor tells me, to look up medicines and procedures, and occassionally to find out about sysmptoms. WebMD has opened up a doorway for many to look up various symptoms and illnesses that used to be only available to doctors and nurses and from specific books. I think that is one reason that it is better not to know some things. There are always stories of people who would watch medical shows and think they had diseases that were mentioned (just watched House and thinks of all of the diagnoses that the team goes through in a single show) I know my brother in law who used to be a nurse doesn't like going there because he doesn't want to think about the possibilities that could be happening. Now if someone trained in medicine could think that way, I am sure that someone just looking at the site without the training may come to conclusions. I have found that letting my doctor make the diagnosis is best, and use the site to ask the right questions, and to find more detailed information about what he says.
