Crazy is as crazy does

One of my first thoughts when I woke up in the middle of the night with a throbbing pain in my right calf and was trying not to scream was "I have to figure out what this is online." With tools like Yahoo!Health, Go Ask Alice and WebMD, people are more and more empowered to learn about their health. But the flipside of that is that this is a psychosomatic's dream - myself included (I have been singing this song from Guys and Dolls lately, during my cold). I keep meaning to ask my doctor if she gets more people who try to self diagnose themselves. I think this a great Ph.D. paper topic. By the way, I did figure out what my pain was.
