More Americans are searching for health information online than ever before, but they're also becoming choosier about where they find it.

A new survey from the National Institutes of Health shows that 58 percent of adults looked for health or medical information on the Internet in 2005, compared with 51 percent in 2003.



It makes sense to do so, especially in Australia, where it can sometimes be difficult to get to see a Dr unless you've been a regular patient. Then rush in for 15mins to get diagnosed and sent on your way and $50 poorer. I'll expect drive through Doctors will be the next big thing.
Use of undefined constants causes assumptions!
