Because of the Internet, it is easier for us to conduct a research about our symptoms. Some of us may even diagnose our own sickness through the information provided by Doctor Google. Although online medical resources are useful in helping you get a clear understanding about your symptoms, it is still necessary that you consult with your doctor to establish a proper diagnosis and perform right course of action.
There are advantages and disadvantages of using the online tools in knowing more about your symptoms. For instance, headache may be listed as one of the symptoms of brain tumor. But just because you have a headache does not mean you also have brain cancer. That's because symptoms may have different meanings.
Doctors, on the other hand, also utilize the online resources to help them diagnose their patients' diseases.
The bottom line is, when it comes to your health, there are things doctors want you to know about the web.
