aMuSiNG MuSiNG ~ just what the DR. didn't order!

My cold has yet to dissipate. I still feel like one of those stuffy-headed schmoes in a NyQuil commercial, with a bright red nose and groggy eyes, stumbling through the pharmacy. Alas, I turned to WebMD for help.

After putting in my symptoms (like headache, runny nose, noisy breathing, discomfort, and on and on and such that and so forth...) in the ever-helpful Symptom Checker, I was told that I probably had one of the following:
  • Herpes Zoster of the Brain
  • Simple Partial Epileptic Seizures
  • Nasal Polyps
  • Whooping Cough
  • Facial Hematoma
Then, listed as a possible 6th option was something I've never heard of before: the common cold! Dear god, I hope it's not that! Hmmm... Way to induce some hypochondria, WebMD!

When did you make the jump from consulting WebMD like it was the omniscient guru of the medical world, to mocking it publicly on the internet? Huh? :)
