When you're feeling under the weather, do you search for a remedy online? You're not the only one...
A survey carried out in the UK has revealed that about 60% of people diagnose ailments by typing their symptoms into an internet search engine instead of seeing a doctor.

So next time you've got a scratchy throat, follow up your Google search with a good old-fashioned chat with your doc.
