Is this really useful?

Google Health is up and running. See a review here.

My first thought was: “who would use such a service?”

I don’t have much of a “medical history” to keep track of.  I’m not eating any regular medicine and never had, and in any case it is not something I want to try to keep track of myself.

I trust my physician and would want him to figure out what medicine I need, if any.  I want him to keep track of my medical history.  He is the expert, that is why I go to him.  I don’t want to second guess experts in a field where I have very little knowledge.

So really, what’s the point in using Google Health?
