Speaking of which, when reading this does it cross anybody's mind that this guy should really admit himself to ER ASAP. He has already admitted himself a couple of times I know, but on at least one of those occasions he got bored and left without getting attention.
The general theme of his post is that he is quite worried about his health, and yet he is using Google of all things for a diagnosis.
Given how bad some of the medical attention I have received in the past doing google searches won't do any harm. Quite often doctors are very good at seeing things they know about, but are very often not open to suggestion that it could be a different problem. After all, they are human, and there have been times I have taken my car to an "expert" who was a good mechanic, but he couldn't see the wood for the trees, you also get the same in IT, sometimes people won't consider that X is the problem, because they have only ever seen Y causes similar symptoms before.
