"Hi I'm Tod Amazeen and I've been in the internet business for over 15 years and I'm going to show you how to look up medical symptoms on line. There are many sites on the internet where you can check your medicines. For the purposes of this demonstration I'm going to use Web MD. So open your web browser and type in webmd.com and hit enter. In the upper center section of the screen click your mouse into the enter box and type in your symptoms. I'm going to type in headaches and click on search. You will now see the search results page and they found around 2700 results. Something to remember is the more specific you are the fewer number of results and probably the faster you will find what your medical symptoms are. So now I'm going to go back up to the text entry box and I am going to modify my entry by adding the word sharp to the beginning. So now I am searching for sharp headache and I'll click on search. You will see the search results and I'm at 98 results. Now I can scroll down and begin to read the articles that are related to the symptoms I have dictated. You've just learned how to look up medical symptoms on line. I'm Tod Amazeen."
