Dr. Google General Practitioner and Specialist of everything!
Well - the only problem is he's been discontinued!

In fact, I never even knew it existed, but that doesn't mean there's nothing on Google about health - far from it! Just a click away with Google Search, you can access your medicaments and their evil workings on you - you can look up what you know you're suffering from ,but also what you THINK you're suffering from.
The only problem with this is that you can rapidly become hypochondriac!
It's quite unreal the things you suddenly feel you are definately suffering from, and quite dangerous too.It's well known that a lot of ailments are 'brain' things - imaginary problems thought up by the individuals themselves, which leads to unnecessary visits to the Doctor or taking over the counter medicines without reason.
Yes - you can find out what your ideal weight should be, but I know personally that although I'm spot on - I'm not! Having lost 30 kilos (60 pounds) over 4/5 months, I know I should weigh more than I do.
This leads to further research 'weight loss too quickly' and more questions are posed!
I'm convinced now that a good Doctor, a good analysis of your health, all symptoms explained, and the correct medecines prescribed and taken is the best way to get anywhere.
Yes, there are illnesses one would rather not know to be concerned with, but that is a matter of personal choice.
If there are controls available then it is a personal decision whether to take advantage of them, at least until the moment that any illness manifests itself in some way or other.
There is also the question of age. It is one thing to ignore any symptoms or 'happenings' if one is 70+ years old, but quite something else if you are just 20 or 30 years old.
The personal family status is also to be taken into account - children, spouses, other contacts and their needs have to be considered.
One thing is for certain. Old age is for everybody!
