It is amazing the impact that the Internet has had in the world of health. Years ago people had very little medical knowledge themselves and used to have to go to the doctor to find out what was wrong with them. Or there were great big encyclopedias (if they had access to them), where they could read up about their particular condition. But now people are so much more tuned in to their own bodies themselves and their minds are much more open to alternative medicines and other non traditional routes. The one big difference though, is obviously the arrival of the Internet where you can find out everything you need to know at the touch of a button. Simply log on, go to Google, tap in the problem and a wealth of knowledge is available at your fingertips in seconds. For people used to more traditional ways of finding these things out, this is a phenomenon.

No longer do you have to rely on a GP whose sometime shaky analysis can stem from being a jack of all trades and a master of none. You used to go to a Doctor and he would say you have this or that, in a ten minute slot he would have to have an analysis of what the problem was. You always took the doctors word for it. Now, if you are not too convinced that some doctor who does not speak a world of English has the right diagnosis you can go online and check for yourself. With declining standards in the NHS this is a very important development.

People were generally much more ignorant as to what was going on with their bodies and would take his or her word for it. Now from the comfort of your own home you can educate yourself with accurate medical information on absolutely everything - there are forums where you can converse and swap solutions with someone at opposite ends of the world from you.
