To trust the doctor and never do private research on internet before or after the diagnosis, and don't take the before research too seriously. Also don't compare conditions with others who had been through similar thing. Related to that, never research the contents and side effects of medications as every single one of them seems to have everything from nausea to death. In 2015 my father had an unfortunate series of events and was hospitalized four times, including a botched surgery and its repair. I did all the mentioned things the first time and was constantly apprehensive about everything. It suddenly occurred to me one night that I was being a wise ass layman and its better to stop it. In 2018 my mother had two hernia repair surgeries. I have been to hospital quite a lot recently and the enlightenment made life easy for the rest of the visits. The unfortunate mistake I did, in hindsight, was that I did all the things with my younger sister, and have taught her so well that I am unable to get her to quit it. I lecture her at every possible occasion and the progress has been geological.
