You are right, Cloudy. Though diagnosis is 85% history, there are a lot of visual clues that a personal visit elicits that any kind of Internet or telephone consultation simply will not allow. For instance, if (God forbid) Melusine had a strep throat and was simply not giving us the symptoms of fever, swelling, foul breath, etc., we could miss a diagnosis. That said, Mel is quite intelligent and I trust her to be honest in her history. But, yes, if any doubt is in your mind, go see your personal physician.
