Cyberchondria

[House fan]

Hello everyone!

I came across this article which was written a few years ago in The Independent newspaper, and I thought some members might find it interesting.

Interesting article, thanks for pointing it out.

It does list trusted medical sites, 3 of which I mentioned in another thread: Boots Web MD, Patient.co.uk and NHS Direct.

Don't consult Doctor Google :)
