I'm convinced that one of the reasons why one of my Aunts died was because she tried to self diagnose herself by reading the internet and listening to her stupid friends when she started to get sick and didn't go and get checked out by a for real doctor. Her friends and her looked up her symptoms on the Internet and usually those searches go right to the quack sights selling whatever garbage that they sell, and their ads are designed to work on the scared, stupid and vulnerable.

So by the time she loaded up on that garbage and spent money and listened to her stupid friend and found that she wasn't feeling better, she finally went to a real doctor and by that time the cancer had moved to her vital organs.

By the way did I mention that even though I keep saying go and see a for real doctor, everytime I see one I get awful news or news that scares the ever loving hell out of me.

But the most awesome thing that I've ever heard from a doctor was when he was muttering about a chiropractor to me and basically said that they're one step from offering a happy ending with every 10 visits to get business.
