I will mention years ago Kaiser Permanente gave their members this very good book called the Healthwise Handbook. It described many many common conditions, what you could do, and under what conditions to contact your doctor.

They stopped giving it out.

It would be nice to have an expert system to guide you through things. I wouldn't mind if it "paused the dignosis" like:

"It could be A, B or C. Look for <symptom> or try <action> to narrow it down"

Now that I think of it, I have used basically one expert systems in my life. It was the windows diagnosis thing.. "did that fix your problem?" the only thing it fixed was a network problem, once.
