We will show you what that looks like for the weekend coming up in a few minutes. A warning for jeep owners. We have an important recall to tell you about next. We have doctor jill live in the studio to talk about using google to diagnose yourself when you are sick. Is it a good idea . We find out coming next with handcrafted steakburgers, allbeef footlongs.

I played quarterback. My dad was a doctor here for 55 years. I swim every morning. And yes, im a fan of fans defend Womens Healthcare and planned parenthood, and take care of our veterans. Im Charlie Crist and i approve this message. Because ill put the people first. Always have, and always will. A lot of us google our symptoms before we head to the dark her, but how accurate are computers diagnosis . . A new access to the same information put into a symptom checker got the diagnosis right 72 percent of the time compared to 34 percent for apps so it is twice doctor jill who is joining us now. Thank you for being here. Im guilty of this. I dont always have to google because i can call you. Igoogle as well. My kids say dont google mom it will Say Something scary. Sometimes you can find things that are not accurate. When you say you google, what types of stops google . How to cook things because google is very easy to use but not for medical symptoms. Im find im so happy to find out the doctors are doing a lot of the a lot better job than google. Why do people self diagnose . Ease of access. It is cheap because you dont have to pay a copay. It is hard to get into a Doctors Office sometimes. The easy accessibility makes people want to go and look about the most all the easy access . That is what i find the most important, but remember, it is never going to replace a doctor because the computer cant listen to you. The computer cant smell you. They dont have the whole information. They put in exactly what you put in and you dont necessarily know everything that youre putting is is what you need to to make the accurate diagnosis. It will never replace your physician client relationship wouldnt can googling altogether. It is important to be a part of your healthcare. By looking into google and getting more information that the doctor tells you to look that at health to be more engaged in your healthcare. That is one of the things we want. The negative is when you are listening to google more than you are listening to your doctor. Is if most of our visit is talking about when google is and also i think when you come to me, im going to ask you a series of questions and we will do an example. These are questions that google wont answer you. Im going to come up with the right diagnosis more frequently because you are not getting all the information. Check with your doctor is our message today. Be informed. I recommend you do look up simple things, what is a fever so you actually know does my child have a fever those are easy that if you have a headache persisted for a long period of time dont go to google for diagnosis, talk to your doctor to come up with a diagnosis. Google also create cyber condrey a meeting i have of slight headache. There is a recall to tell you about from the chrysler. This problem was discovered during company crash tests. The company will contact owners with all the recall details. Shining a light on amendment number one, will the consumers for smart solar amendment really help your pocketbook .

When it comes from consumers the report lists 12 individuals who have contributed just 405 out of almost 22,000,000 raised. Organizer matt carter is a former utility regulator and says the goal is to protect consumers. Protection from fraud, protection from substandard equipment.
