WebMD.com, and the cancer you just might have
I love WebMD.com, what other site can you diagnose a mosquito bite to skin cancer? Seriously, try it you can turn the simplest ailments into life threatening diseases that will have you pushing dirt and feeding worms in under a week! With a few clicks goose bumps become rickets and an ingrown toe nail is suddenly a vicious case of ebola virus.
In light of this wonderful search mechanism I was curious if the reverse would happen so I put in some more, fairly serious issues just to see what WebMD would come up with… here are the results.
