Which Internet Medical Site Do You Use?

I use WebMD mostly. It is great! I will have to check the others you mention. I also search in my research and find some interesting information that way. I will have to check out this one you mention. Several herbal sites I use also. Depends on what I am looking for.

Thank you for the name of the other site you found, I will be checking it out. Mostly I use WebMD , as it is there and everyone has heard of it, but the Wrong Diagnosis might be a place where I could narrow down what symptoms I am having and when you tell the doctor they just look at you like you nuts. Some times I just type into search some symptom and see what I come up with. I love the internet as it gives us the chance to type in search about new medicines or diseases that we are diagnosed with to get more information about them.

I use a site called Virtual medical Centre. It's extrememly comprehensive and user friendly at the same time. I've just been checking out your Wrong Diagnosis site and it looks great too. I've bookmarked it to study when I have more time...thanks WW.

i tend to go to webmd because it is the first that comes to mind. i am not exactly thrilled with it and we love to check out others that are more user friendly and easier for the lay person to navigate so any suggestions are welcome.

I use WebMD too. But that is just in the case of very small health issues. As you said rightly "nothing of an emergency nature". Else, its definitely a visit to the doctor. I don't use the Internet too much for medical issues.It is too easy to come to the wrong conclusion regarding,when one has certain symptoms.

Hmm, right not I dont use any, I just bought some lens form some website but as for medicine, I did not try but it is useful to do sometimes. It is important to go to the doctor better than relying on websites

That is the site that I use the most also. I have done other searches for answers online but always seem to end up at that site instead. It is very helpful most of the time.

Hey worldwise! When I want to look up some medical term or symptom I just usually type it in a see what I come up with! I don't go to any particular medical site. I just type the word, diagnosis and see what I find and go from there! I honestly never even thought about picking a particular site! I worked in the medical field as a medical secretary/assistant for quite awhile so I know alot of medical terminology so I guess that's why I just put in the diagnosis or a term.

I have never actually visited a Internet Medical site. I guess I'm a little weary about this! I guess there's always the chance that a wrong diagnosis can be given as you don't have a doctor physically present in order to examine you. I guess these sites are ok for small things that you want to check up on though. Andrew

WOW, nice discussion. I have nver turned to a medical site. Maybe we do not have many here in China and i am always in a good health condition. I will try the wbesite you offered above.

I use several sites to look up for symptoms and causes of what I might have. I sometimes use MayoClinic and WebMD as well. However, I still consult with our family doctor first.

I also like webmd. I also visit mayoclinic, wrongdiagosis.com and locateadoctor.com. locateadoctor is useful for finding a doctor in US.

If you know the good names of good sites please let me know, I would love to visit that sites.

mostly i use cadila itz bcz ma frnd is working on ths company n mosyt of tyme he report on myu pc..... tht's why i prefer cadila

One of the main ones that I seem to use is either WebMD or ites for Diabetes care. I am one who is very Proactive when it comes to Health Care, and especially when it comes to Medications I am one who will always do some research on them as well making sure I know what they are for, and some of the things I might need to watch for as well.

I like WebMD and consult it quite frequently for myself and my family.

I don't normally look up medical thing on the internet, but when I do, I use WebMD, too.

I still use WebMD although I'm not particularly happy with it anymore. It used to be so much easier to plug in what your symptoms are and get some ideas of what might be wrong. The last time I used it, it was like a maze that led me around and around.... Just getting some basic information from it was extremely complicated and time consuming. It used to have tons of pictures, so you could compare external symptoms. I had something specific I was looking for and could get to what I want ted to find for anything. I may have to try one of the other sites you listed and see if they are better.
