Yup, Google literally saved my life. If it were up to both doctors (yup, I did get a second opinion), I would be dead today.
My condition is neither rare nor difficult to diagnose. My symptoms might as well have been lifted from a textbook.
My family member wasn't so lucky and died due to: a) Doctors again unwilling to diagnose in time until symptoms were impossible to ignore. b) They abandoned a treatment that was working for one that didn't. -- Not to mention that time he almost died during treatment because of a medication dosage mixup.
It's an industry run by imbeciles. Those within it who want reform are met with so much resistance it's maddening -- just having these stats out in the open is a triumph. I too can't wait to see the day a piece of software knocks them off their high horse.
