Im not a doctor, and I dont think I ever
Im not a doctor, and I dont think I ever thought I would want to be one. However, my mom is a nurse, and she always told me about mysterious illneses, and the odd things that would happen at the hospital. Because of this, I did come about having a fascination with what could happen to the body, and what some odd symptoms might mean. I have found myself looking at medical pictures quite a few times because of this.If you have something going on with your body you can always see if you can find medical pictures that match what you are seeing. There are many who do this when they have a rash, and if you can guess what the rash might be, you may be able to find a picture. This might be when someone has been in the woods, and they find something on the skin. They may think they have gotten poison ivy, so they look for medical pictures of what that might look like to see if it matches what they have. This might also happen when someone thinks they may have been bitten by a poisonous spider or other insect.
Other times, people look at medical pictures because they are curious about disease that have come and gone, but may still pop up on rare occasion. These folks are usually sure there is something wrong with them, but they have no idea what that might be. Instead of finding medical pictures, it might be best to take your symptoms and your fears in to your doctor. They can then help you decide what is going on, if anything, and then what to do next.
Medical pictures can also be used with medical articles, and are often quite helpful. There are so many who are scared about what their new diagnosis might mean, and they want more information than what their doctors have given them as of yet. While some information online is not valid, there are some sites that have medical pictures and articles that can be trusted. However, remember that even though the information you find might be right, it might not apply in your case. You are free to look up whatever you want, but get your straight answers from your doctor. These pictures and articles may give you clues, but they certainly should only be used as a guideline and never as a substitute for medical treatment and diagnosis.
