Need some medical advice? Try asking Alexa.

Too busy to call your doctor's office? Well now you can simply shout at Alexa from the comfort of your couch for slightly similar results. Amazon's helpful, know-it-all bot is working with WebMD, aka a hypochondriac's BFF, to deliver users a variety of answers to their burning health-related questions, like "how to treat a sore throat." Starting Tuesday, in addition to tens of thousands of existing commands, Echo owners will be able to hear physician-reviewed answers to questions about certain medical conditions and symptoms, drugs, side effects, tests and treatments by simply asking Alexa about them. So now it'll be even easier to spend hours on end trying to determine whether that teeny, tiny, probably harmless splinter you got in your pinky finger could lead to your imminent demise.
