In contrast to the relatively informative article in the site that I've linked above, a major problem with sites like [self-censored] is that it is sometimes written like this:
Problem: Your child is coughing
1) It might be nothing. Don't worry.
2) There is something in between but you have to be a smart doctor to understand what it might be. You are just a stupid patient so, we'll skip straight to your worst fears and then do a tap-dance on them.
3) It may the plauge, also know as "The Black Death" that is afflicting your precious baby. The plauge wiped out 1/3 of Europe in the middle ages, so you must be a very bad parent for letting this into your home. Go to the hospital now! Tell your wife to pray! What? You aren't a nuclear family! S H A M E ! ! !
Ok. That was a slight hyperbole. In any case, that is how I often feel when I am trying to use the internet to find out why my kids feel sick.
