Recently the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project released findings from a national survey on "online diagnosers." They characterize "online diagnosers" as those that have gone online to figure out what medical condition they or someone else might have.
 
You can view a small sample of their findings in two healthsprocket lists recently posted:
