I typed my symptoms into WebMD and crashed the website. 😑

Unfortunately I am seeing a lot of articles about how people are starting to do...just that. And their doctors are encouraging it.

Somehow getting some pages off of WebMD to try to stir my PCP in the right direction with disease is a No No, but the hallucibot 5000 is a great

I’m at an age where I don’t heed WebMD to tell me what is probably a minor inconvenience is a death sentence. I can create that hysteria on my own.

WebMD is cheaper, and usually just as accurate.

I need a cure for all this apathy
I'm spending way too long on WebMD
(Not so sure it's good for me)

Where is the spot in WebMD to say "my cat has changed her sleep location from my legs to leaning against my kidney" as a symptom?

If you think me reading WebMD is bad you should see me read webvet

I saw this today. Are people really consulting with AI for their health now? I thought the days of WebMD diagnostics were over. Now ChatGPT?! Worse yet for supplements? I'm not saying these are bad suggestions, because they're actually good options but don't people know it's monetized?

doctor, i've been feeling kind of off these days
maybe it's my head or heartbreak, who's to say?
trying to self diagnose what's been wrong with me
but webmd don't got shit on your degree :(

Daily affirmations: you do not need to Google symptoms, you do not need to listen to worst case scenarios presented to you on WebMD, you are safe

Hypochondriac's Friend - the app that confidently explains how every symptom is in fact cancer (inspired by WebMD). Paid accounts can upgrade to more exotic illnesses.

I would like a less stable WebMD, please.
January 29, 2026 at 1:54 AM
