Can I trust online medical advice?

Answer by  lylo (129)

I find online medical advice to be extremely helpful and practical. Doctors have years of education and experience, but with the resources available to us online we can pick the brains of people from all walks of life and with vast medical knowledge in an amazingly short amount of time.

Well the answer is no. You can tke online advice and go on to take some medicines but when you say the word trust ,then the story changes because one cannot diagnose a disease without meeting the patient personally as the root of that disease may be something else from what one may think, believe me. I am studying science!!

It is important to find out where the information is coming from when reading online medical sites. Lots of sites have real doctors and professionals that give advice, but some do not. To be Safe, make sure you check the source before implementing any advice giving on an online medical site.
