Off-topic, but the ‘Dr Google’ thing is interesting. Something that makes it more nuanced in that particular case is that a patient will have better insight into the state of their own body in many ways than a physician will. I’ve been watching a series called ‘Mystery Diagnosis’ about people with rare diseases and how they were eventually diagnosed. Something you hear most of them say is along the lines of ‘Finally I met this doctor that actually listened to everything I had to say’. It’s a really interesting series — and damn does it remind you how lucky you are to be mostly healthy!
