Ditto. While I'm sure they get patients who read random stuff on the internet, its frustrating that I can often get better information searching the internet with a basic understanding of how to determine the validity and how damn often thats better than my doctors recommendation and understanding and how often it changes the treatment path that would have been taken. You absolutely need to be your own advocate because most doctors just follow a playbook and/or don't have time to think deeply on your issue, and/or don't spend time keeping their knowledge up to date.
