I saw this report and which goes to show that the internet can be beneficial in medical research: US teen invents advanced cancer test using Google He did take his work to universities and was mentored by a professor.

Apparently GPs' biggest concern these days is patients walking in to surgeries all flustered having undertaken incorrect internet "self-diagnosis".

Yeah, these people are good fun - the most innocuous symptom can lead to a cancer self-diagnosis. Although one did correctly diagnose herself with menopause recently. There are really good sites out there run by medical practitioners, and then there are the "self-help" forums which are run by people who are not only hypochondriacs but also munchausen and do oneupmanship with their illnesses. "Oh, you think you have bad headaches? Well, mine have been compared with brain tumours..." "Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?" "I'm not sure that man needs the help."

"Oh, you think you have bad headaches? Well, mine have been compared with brain tumours..." This is only a result of the fact most people do not have the basic understanding of how to research and understand what they are researching. The internet is a powerful tool blessed with all the information one person would need. This is why the NHS are in the process of building a health based "wikepedia" which will ensure that people have a one stop access to a reliable source. With a small improvement to the NHS patient specialist program - more power and knowledge will be in the hands of the patient to work with their doctors. : The Psy-Ential Mix : BeatNik Live @ EMC2 March 2012: Availabe now OnDemand : Exclusive to PsyJuiceUK Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 03-09-2012 12:23 PM ceekay venomous fairy Registered: Feb 2010 Posts: 23053 - Threads: 804 Location: In a wide open space [Edited by ceekay on 03-09-2012 12:45 PM] tBF, NHS Direct website is actually a fairly decent tool anyway - it has a symptom checker which can usually help quite a bit. Although it is quite tedious as it tailors the response to you personally and most people want instant answers rather than go through the process. patient.co.uk is also very good and used by GPs. WedMD is fucking bullshit, by the way. American site which slants towards prescriptions for everything - quel surprise! "Do you believe in the devil?

In the event you are; what exackly are you conerns? Balls. I didn't mean parentheses (As Ed has correctly pointed out), I meant quotation marks. You have a habit of putting random words in quotation marks, it's unsettling. Or should I say, "unsettling"...

A bit odd, have you read The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart? Is this your own version of dice therapy? Well if it is you will certainly lead a random and varied existence!!
