Alarm Over Search Engine Hits on Medical Topics

I’ve noticed that occassionally my web site is found by people searching Google with odd or alarming medical issues. Most recently, I’ve seen searches having to do with long term effects of aspirin, sinus infections from root canal work, etc. My web site is not the place to go to for medical advice. Please check your doctor. That’s what they’re there for.

Much more alarming are searches for “coffee grounds vomit” or “black vomit”. There’s been three or four search engine referrals having to do with this. It’s because I had this about five years ago and wrote a long post detailing what happened.

From experience, if you actually have just thrown up “coffee grounds” or “black vomit”, please, PLEASE, call 911/Emergency Services immediately and get yourself to a hospital. You are bleeding internally. The Internet is not the place to look for information at this moment.
