Quick Post II: WebMD; a Hypochondriac's worst nightmare

What is the point of WebMD, specifically the symptom checker?

I put in a headache and got brain aneurysm, caffeine withdrawal, type 2 diabetes, migraine, nearsightedness, sunburn, sleep apnea, and iron deficiency.

So, my headache can be relieved with aspirin or a trip to the hospital. With such a wide range of possibilities for my headache, how was this search helpful?

This site is the worst thing for a hypochondriac.
