WebMD Convince yourself you have a terminal illness™

Wow I'm actually surprised the Internet was wrong on this

All these people going "don't use the Internet to look up symptoms" are either gullible idiots who can't use multiple sources and simply accept the first answer, or just parroting what other have said. If you know how to actually answer the questions, and remove irrelevant diagnoses from your list, you can get a few ideas. It's not foolproof, and you don't want to jump to conclusions based one site, but as a jumping off point for research or to ask a doctor? It's a resource.

Did anyone else think of that Louie C.K. episode?

WebMD strikes again. Stub a toe leave with cancer

As someone that has grown up without the internet, even I know that chest pains MIGHT be a heart attack. Why you even bothered to look it up online BEFORE calling for emergency services is beyond me. Luckily it was just trapped gas, otherwise you wouldn't even make it to the 3rd 9 in 999 after faffing about online looking up symptoms. Pffffff

Would you have preferred a heart attack!? Sounds like a happy ending to me!

in Spanish, it's an "infarto."

Thing is, they were right to panic. Some signs of heart attacks are chest pains, that feeling where a part of your body is "asleep" (lack of blood flow there) and frequent gas, thought I'm not too sure about the last one.

Unless there's a pain in your jaw, and a pain in your left arm, you're not having a heart attack.
