This is interesting, did you read that new research shows that we are
becoming a bunch of "cyberchondriacs"? See this BBC article for
details http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7758183.stm I have to
admit... I use the internet for this purpose too.
Cheers, Anita

Hi Anita - Thanks for the link on "cyberchondriacs". I wondered about
that too. I know that medical students often pick up ailments as they
study medicine. I wonder what the cure is there?

Anyhow, maybe a "Super Symptom Checker (SSC)" could factor in how much
a user is accessing the SSC. By doing so, maybe the SSC probable
diagnosis could shift from a more-physical to a more-mental
"prescription for health".

By the way, have you seen Top 50 Health 2.0 Blogs -

? Looks good to me.

Cheers to you! I wish you and others reading this well in your
ventures.

Tom
