googling symptoms returns scary results because...

SpoiledSAHM commented on a thread that searching symptoms on the internet always returns worst case scenarios. That's true, isn't it?

I think it's because that's what makes an interesting article. People like shock and awe (except for us - who it scares!)

I write articles for my job and I can't imagine writing, "The patient was experiencing heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea and disorientation. After taking half of a xanax and controlling her breathing, everything was 100% fine."

You don't write about what's normal. Your angle is what it is that is different or important, usually.

So, having a symptom and no articles about it being just fine? Then, it's probably normal for it to be just fine. :)

haha! I have to defend my profession - the media focuses on the worst because that's what people read. lol

haha!
