MD's on the net...........

Neighbor here at work is talking with a family member over the phone. Evidently, their family member has a cut/infection of some sort. So rather than spending the $10-15 to drop in to see their local doctor to get it checked, they have decided to call their relative at work to have them look up stuff on the internet and attempt to diagnose the issue via the internet over the phone. As I write this, my neighbor is reading information off WebMD's website to attempt to diagnose the issue.

Ummmm, there a reason it takes doctors 8-12 years to become a doctor. Diagnosing a problem without training is not something that can be done over the internet or we'd all be doctors. If you're reading this, PLEASE don't be one of these people. It's money well spend to have a professional check it. Not only that, but you'll avoid driving people like me nuts when we're at work.
