Don't let the computers run the world!!! At first they would seem like they're helping, but whammo! Mis-diagnosis to slowly kill off the population and we can't do anything about it because we wouldn't know how to diagnose anymore!!!!! But really, pretty cool stuff, way to go DOCTOR Watson!
This could actually be a huge help especially in assisting doctors in diagnosing obscure diseases which sometimes tend to mimic other disease's symptoms. Combining a computer's data crunching abilities with a human's reasoning abilities to help improve the quality of care for millions of people. Exciting stuff.
you have 37% chance of hantavirus, 63% chance of pneumonia. diagnosis inconclusive, chance of survival: unlikely....but i just have the sniffles! next!
Does Watson accept insurance?

This is a brilliant application of the technology. Soon, any doctor will have the knowledge of the world's best specialists at their fingertips.
I'll take "Do I Have Herpes" for $1000
until watson starts getting sued for malpractice
"I am sorry Dave, I can't do that..." Calling Doctor HAL. He's just down the hall, right next to that big black obelisk thingy...
But really, this is a major advance! And with the internet, Watson can make house calls.
"What is leg?"
What is it's name? Can't just go around calling it "the computer that won Jeopardy". I propose Artemis Computerous OR Doc Holliday.
And before anyone beats me up and says to read the article, I saw the name Watson but don't think it will stick.
I hope Watson doesn't get its info from Wikipedia. It will be prescribing toothpaste for Hemorrhoids and Prep-H for dental care!
"I wonder how this stuff would taste on crackers.."
