Think of the Week

Today I have to talk about something that a ton of people do, and it absolutely drives me insane! There are people that have done it, and there are liars. And no, it's not peeing in the shower. The thing that drives me absolutely crazy is when people google their medical symptoms and then try to do some kind of self-diagnosis. This wouldn't bother me so much if it was accurate at all, but you have people that have a common cold reading online thinking they have bronchitis and pneumonia combined, because yahoo answers told them so. I regret to inform you that most of the people on yahoo answers are not medically trained and can only go off of their personal experiences. If you are having some kind of weird issue, its fine to get some opinions, but you do not need to go insane thinking you have polio until a doctor tells you that you do. Keeping in mind that sometimes doctors can be wrong as well. 

Aside from not freaking yourself out about your yahoo diagnosis, you should probably not go around making other people worry about you as well. The only time I had ever done this was when I had a swollen lymph node from getting my teeth pulled, and I had everyone thinking I had cancer. Funny how the people on yahoo were wrong, huh? I'm sorry if this comes off as a rant, but nobody on yahoo is concerned about your well being and if you need medical advice, you can always contact a doctor or nurse! Thanks so much for reading!
