Using Google for health care advice

It's really amazing what one can find on Google.

Many medical professionals really hate it when we "lay people" use Google to attempt a diagnosis or cure.

But, they have a good reason to fear it. It does a darn good job.

Here is one of the many sites I found when I Googled "how to cure a boil".

Our home health aide said she found a treatment for her daughter's eczema by using Google. The treatment is Crisco!!

I Googled "how to cure eczema with Crisco" and found this site.
