The Power of Retail

I was looking through a site that displays popular searches as a measure to gauge trends, and one of the surprising ones was for treatments for Mesothelioma amongst searches for pop singers and movie stars. It seems that people are relying more and more on the internet for information that they would usually have asked their doctor. But as physicians and nurses are so swamped with work and patients, most are quite happy with this change. The problem is that the average person is not going to be able to understand half of what they read about medical problems, so in the end might just compound the problem.
