using social networks to self-medicate

The New York Times had an article today about how many young adults in New York go without medical insurance and the lengths they go to seek alternatives to aid in self-diagnose and sometimes self-medicate. Of particular interest is how some of the people interviewed used health web sites to find health information and social networks to find medications to share.

You can find the article here.
