I like how the symptom checker on WebMD works. You can click on the part of your body that's bothering you and it shows you possible symptoms. So here's my new favorite progression.
Full Body > Legs > Thighs > Symptom: Bleeding > Possible Cause: Trauma or Injury
This is also an instance where selecting another symptom doesn't narrow the diagnosis and in fact expands it! For example if you additionally select "Multiple bruises of different ages" your number of possible conditions expands to include "Falls or injury" and "Physical abuse". In case you weren't sure that any of these things would result in bleeding or bruises. I guess this is good if you wake up bleeding and have bruises as well as amnesia but you remember what WebMD is.
Yes sometimes I do idly check WebMD for things. So far reading about stuff on Wikipedia inflames my hypochondria even more that so this is pretty harmless in comparison. I just like clicking on the little person.
Heh. "If you have sudden visible deformity of your elbow, please seek immediate medical attention." "Where are you experiencing pulling out eyebrows? [] Face [] None of the Above"
Though now I know that scarlet fever is the same as strep throat with a rash! Lovely.
