Doctors use Google, so should you

Two Australian doctors have found that entering the symptoms of a tricky case into the internet search engine often results in accurately diagnosing the illness.

Seems I’m not the only one in the world that likes to use Google as a search engine. Google is better at things than it knows about. Doctors have found a way to use Google for helping their patients.

The conditions correctly diagnosed by Google included Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the hormonal disorder Cushing’s syndrome, acute chest syndrome - a complication of sickle cell disease - and the auto-immune disease Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare condition that can affect the blood vessels, the lungs, nerves, and other parts of the body.

Go-go-google! The amazing company of Google goes for the win again…and gets it.
