I saw this article today:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/12/20/ep.cyberchondriacs/index.html
As far as the internet goes, if you want a particular answer to a question, you can find it. It does not necessarily mean that it is right. Correspondingly, if it shows up on 10 million websites as the answer, it may still not be correct. Just because 10 million people believe a piece of information does not make it true. The article also highlights our truly incredible ability to fit square pegs into round holes. How does that correlate to this? Well, we tend to exaggerate or morph our "symptoms" to fit what is described when they either do not fit or the slight disparity is exactly what a healthy person should feel. Our doctors may not be perfect, our medical tests may not be perfect, and we certainly are not perfect. The point of this entry, absolutely nothing. Just thought I would add some random bit of data from my day.
Something that is of interest to us all...those of us that encounter the horrors of traffic on a daily basis....but it doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know....

Some us just should not be allowed to drive ourselves about...that includes me....which is why I would love for light rail to come to our area.
