This is a site called Virtual Urgent Care for medical advice. I guess there is always a doctor there that you can talk to in realtime. It's funny though, when you click on Urgent Care Walk-in it brings up a screen that looks like a waiting room and you sign in LOL!! I'm having a wierd burning pain on my right side and just wanted to know if it was anything to be concerned about. Would you try this?

Very interesting post. I gave very little info and "Dr. Steven" pegged me as having knee cartilage problems. Right on. He told me to go see my doctor. So I guess this was a good post

Thanks

I saw "Dr. Stevens" also LOL!! Said that if the pain lasts for more than 3 hours then I should consult my regular doctor. For a minute there when the nurse was asking questions I thought it was a joke LOL!!

I have a sore throat, runny nose, stuffy nose, ear ache, stopped up ears, and head and neck aches. I was just diagnosed with the flu by this site so we shall see.

OK guys-you are not going to believe this!! You can see for yourself exactly what I typed about my symptoms:

ok-my arms have been burning for about 4 days now-off and on. Not like a dry skin burn-the burning is inside my skin! I also have FMS

You will not believe the questions he asked me!!! He asked me if the burning was confined to my anus and genital area!!! I know i can be a little different, but my arms are in the same place as everyone elses!
It does look like a really cool site though!!

Diagnosis: OK, I don't see any cause for concern. It is unlikely that your itching is a sign of an underlying disease or condition. If your symptoms change or new symptoms develop, please make a return visit. If you are still worried, consult your regular physician

LOL!! Which doctor did you see? I'll make sure to ask him what his grade was on anatomy! LOL!!

I just tried it out - there is not a 'doctor' there at all. THe answers are based on keywords - kinda like a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' system but for your health

I think if you really need a doctor, go see a 'real' one

awww cpbaby, hope ya feel better.. Now, how bout I use this site to diagnose me since my health insurance just went up again?!

First of all, let me set this straight. I am 5'2" and weigh 130 lbs. Dr. Fing asked me if I was concerned about my being overweight. Uh, not too much of a problem, considering I used to weigh 195. I don't really consider myself overweight, but okay. Anyway, according to him I have PID. I really don't think that's what it is. I think it's fibroids, but I'll find out on the 22nd for sure. That was kind of fun though--love the nurse, lol.
