Why do people ask for medical advice on the internet?

No offense, but I wouldn't trust any of you to make me a sandwich, let alone give me complex medical advice.





Why do people think this is a good idea?Why do people ask for medical advice on the internet?
People do it as some of the advice offered is very good advice but unfortunately a lot of it is junk advice but it is all free advice.





People also do it to avoid a visit to their doctor and some people ask for advice as their doctor has been unable to help them.





Most doctors don't believe in alternative medicine and some people do so they ask questions under Alternative Medicine.

I guess they want to compare notes with someone who has had similar symptoms.
