For example when I or a relative get sick the Dr prescribes antibiotics pain killers etc... I log on to yahoo health and write down the medicine name and it tells me what that medicine does and what are its side effects. Its quite useful to be honest. It also describes symptoms of diseases which is an excellent source. No doubt Google health will be better than yahoo. /me loves Google *smile* Yahoo health has helped me on many occasions.

I already used to use google to try and find medical tips.. i am not going to try and perform surgery on myself but i would like to know atleast more about my problem before visiting the doctor. Also some stuff we usually ignore because we feel its not worth going to the doctor for like a headace or stomach cramps. Now you can atleast research your problem and find out what you might need to eat or do to solve your stomach problem.. I actually think its very practical.

Self medication can take a life of it own often with some very sorry outcomes. The lack of adequate moderated peer reviewed medical info. for the lay public, out on the Net is still an issue. That said, with or without Google you still can get sound medical advice/ tips from www.patient.co.uk & www.drugs.com Mishref has quite rightly, hit the nail on its head.
