A feature in Scientific American magazine casts some light on the troubled state of modern medicine.

Health Care Myth Busters: Is There a High Degree of Scientific Certainty in Modern Medicine?

Short excerpt:

We could accurately say, "Half of what physicians do is wrong," or "Less than 20 percent of what physicians do has solid research to support it." Although these claims sound absurd, they are solidly supported by research that is largely agreed upon by experts.

Scientific American often gates its online articles after some time has passed, so I don't know how long it will be available.

Symptom checker programs

Any recommendations for those? Google returns a lot of results, and I don't really know of a good way to filter between them. I didn't even know such programs existed!

Hmm, iTriage for Android looks like it has good reviews.
