I wonder if Wikipedia search should have some enhanced capability to help people who perform searches like these. There may be ethical and legal limits to what Wikipedia should provide in the way of "medical advice", but I think if our search tool gets queries like the ones mentioned in that article, Wikipedia Search might suggest to people that they contact their local emergency services rather than try to do self-help via Wikipedia.
