Internet and Health

check out some of the related articles as well. Interesting...

My fav medical site (maybe after wikipedia, of course). Scratchy throat? Look it up under the symptom checker and see if it's the flu or emergency condition Epiglottitis. Very thorough site, and even includes homeopathic treatments-- great for the smaller sick-ies.

I don't know what any of this means-- all I want to know is whether we're healthier for having all this information at our fingertips... Or do we waste professional time and overreact to common symptoms? Maybe just feeling better informed makes us happier, but doesn't actually change actions (like quiting smoking, losing weight, etc.).

So the internet provides the comfort of community and information.... surprising that praying online vs praying in church group could still make a difference...
