Doctors Seeing a Rise In "Google-itis" 368

It's one of the fastest-growing health issues that doctors now face: "Google-itis." Everyone from concerned mothers to businessmen on their lunch break are typing in symptoms and coming up with rare diseases or just plain wrong information. Many doctors are bringing computers into examination rooms now so they can search along with patients to alleviate their fears. "I'm not looking for a relationship where the patient accepts my word as the gospel truth," says Dr. James Valek. "I just feel the Internet brings so much misinformation to the (exam) room that we have to fight through all that before we can get to the problem at hand."

Must agree with you on the Robotech thing, although I never thought it was predictable. Sure, during the first "season" of sorts they had the SDF-1 rely on it's main cannon a few times, but what about when they punched the through that Zentradei ship? Definitely the coolest thing my young eyes had ever witnessed. However, it wasn't until last year that I managed to finally get my hands on a copy of the ill-fated "Sentinels" episodes. I implore you...do yourselves a favor and lie, cheat or steal to get a copy of this. Beyond worth it.
