Getting medical information off the internet

Yes I have and it does help sometimes and then there are time's it makes me more paranoid about my symptoms then before. So now I only look up medical information for minor things and let my doctors handle the rest because I can't handle the stress of thinking I have something worse then I actually have because of surfing for medical information does this to me often..LOL But I think the internet is really good for finding information for homeopathic remedies for small things I can do at home easily.

I always check first on the internet for medical information (even about medicines), before checking up with my doctor. This as well because he is here only twice a week in my village, and as well because it's very useful. I think even more then only a third of all the people use technology first before checking up with their doctor, just because it's faster and easier. And if I still couldn't get out of it, then yes ofcourse, I call my doctor, or in Holland, there are doctors on internet who you can ask for information, which is very good in my opinion..! This safe the doctor time, and they won't have much appointments, which makes it easier for them to keep giving attention to the more SERIOUS problems.

Yes I look up almost all of my medical questions, and then I can make a logical decision about whether or not to call my doctor.

Sure for minor things. I'll look up a few things. But I always consult the doctor. Especially where my daughter is concerned. Better to be safe than sorry.

Yes I am asthmatic and use it a lot to see if any new medicine is available. I have also looked it up for my Gradson, who we discovered had reflux and we took him to Doctors and they confirmed it. We typed in his symptoms and came up with it. I would recommend going to a Doctor first though, but the internet can be very useful.

Hi parvezjs. Unfortunately, i have never been used. Because of our medical information network has not yet popular here. i think it must be very convenient.
