Hi Nurunnaby,
A similar story has appeared in the Telegraph -
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/10857468/Dont-diagnose-yoursel…
and the BBC -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27586356
The BBC piece is the best of the three and WMUK has reached out to all
three sources. The article stems from a report published a while ago by the
Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. The paper was discussed by
members of WikiProject Medicine and some issues found in its methodology.
I hope this is helpful,
Stevie
