Why do people ask serious medical advice online?

I'm quite bemused by the number of people who ask really quite serious sounding medical questions online, rather than go to a doctor? Some of their symptoms would have me at the doctors so quickly - I would not ever consider asking non medical people to diagnose me online? Am I the only person who thinks this is kind of odd?Why do people ask serious medical advice online?
Because there are medical doctors on here that may can help you until you see a doctor. One just answered my question about HBP. He was a true physcian. You never know who might be there to answer. He saved me a trip to the ER.Why do people ask serious medical advice online?
think they don't want to see a doctor cause they don't want to hear the truth. they have more to pick and choose from if they ask on here.
I know what you mean. ';I'm bleeding from a gunshot wound. What should I do?';
maybe theyre bored.
Yes it's odd.
