The Idea

This website would allow people to list a whole bunch of personal issues they are aware of that lead them to think that they might have some medical condition that needs to be discovered and attended to. Medical practioners could review them and provide their professional opinions ... This could also be an excellent platform for Medical Students to use as a test ground for their own knowledge or to promote further research and hone their skills. Hypochondriacs could possibly be cured or at least temporarily relaxed in knowing there is nothing really wrong with them and in the process they won't clog up the medical suites waiting rooms with unnecessary visits .. saving on medical insurance or taxes. It could also save lives by early detection of a real condition that normally would have been overlooked due to the user not wanting to go to a doctor or thinking that they were just being a hypochondriac. Pharmaceutical companies could review the conditions and recommend products.

I thought of this idea when I was...

I thought it was just a headache! This website could generate a lot of sponsorship revenues and would also be a good community service.

Thanks kshex but www.yournetdoctor.com is a rather expensive online consultation service and the 'patients' have to pay by credit card which in turn means that your symptoms are on record irrespective of privacy statements.

I was thinking more along the lines of a free service to the community where there are opportunities for more than one diagnosis and remedy offered. For example homeopathic remedies could be offered as well as standard medicine.

A service where the revenues flow from advertising and sponsorships. Donation payments could also be implemented for patients to express their gratitude.

A service where the financialy disadvantaged are not excluded from diagnosis.
