I have been an active user of internet searches for medical diagnosis from recent years. I have found most of information consistent across many webpages for a same medical query. I have also felt this as a better alternative to be aware of what might be going on inside our body.
As we are limited to weekends for visiting Medicos/ Doctors, this web based medical information platforms seem relatively a better idea. Also in case of medical emergencies quick internet searches may provide relief at times.
The only thing which is restricting me or my friends to rely on these kind of webpages is the legitimacy of the information we get from them.
