WrongDiagnosis provides a great research center of medical conditions. Once you find out you have a serious illness, you need information, useful information and plenty of it. Many sites on health have lots of feel-good messages, but not enough facts. WrongDiagnosis allows people to be “informed” patients, to be interested in their health, and to know what questions to ask their doctors.
With so many health websites for consumers to get health information, will WrongDiagnosis be able to grab a significant portion of the market? Will they include some background information?
