FYI, rabies is a much worse disease than HIV, and will rapidly kill you with 100% certainty past a certain point of infection. With modern retrovirals one can prevent progression to AIDS for many decades.
As a medical student I can tell you that appendicitis is one of the first things physicians look for when there is the type of abdominal pain you describe. They would have ran the same tests even if you did not suggest it to them.
It is extremely unlikely that your use of the internet had any effect on your final (and thankfully positive) outcome.
Of course, it is still very important that patients try to educate themselves as much as possible. No doctor is perfect. Some of the older people in my profession may frown on the patient taking more control over their medical care, but now many medical schools are teaching new doctors to embrace the change.
Actually, Alexander was a Macedonian himself. His father Philip was the King of Macedonia and conquered Greece, and Alexander took the reigns after Philip's death. Therefore he had no need to "conquer them". Read for yourself.
1) As mentioned, city bucks are not a printed currency. 2) There is no body of water called the "Cayuga river". Ithaca is located next to Cayuga Lake, which is where Cornell gets its water for its project called "Lake-source cooling". 3) Although you are correct in saying that Ithaca has a lot of left-wing residents, it in no way represents Upstate New York. Most people who live in rural upstate towns are conservative. Check any election map.
Oh, come on! The only parts of New Jersey that are unpleasant are Camden and Newark, overflows of Philly and NYC, so don't blame it on Jersey! Can't we just agree on a place that everybody agrees is completely worthless? France, for instance.

Here are some facts:
Polio is still a problem in other parts of the world, specifically India and Pakistan.
After polio was irradicated in the United States, it is true that the live-attenuated vaccine at the time caused more disease than it prevented.
Only the inactivated Polio vaccine is currently used in the United States, which does not cause disease. Almost every American baby receives it.
