I believe it. In my 40+ years of dealing with the medical profession, Dr. Google, Dr. Wikipedia, & Dr. Pubmed have wiped the floor with them, time after time.

I believe it. In my 40+ years of dealing with the medical profession, Dr. Google, Dr. Wikipedia, & Dr. Pubmed have wiped the floor with them, time after time. If you get sick, do the research. I can almost guarantee that it will pay off.
And these days, medical research is excellent--if only by volume. I know people here like their canned responses--"small n!", "in mice!", "correlation != causation"--but when you're trying to make a diagnosis, every little clue helps!
I can't honestly attribute excellence to the typical medical practitioner.
- xtracto 4y agoPeople that have lived with a chronic disease have seen this first hand. I had specialist Doctors five up on me in frustration because they just dont know what's wrong with me. I've been to several doctors in 3 different countries during 20 years. You really comprehend that doctors are just humans, not too different from say, an IT professional trying to troubleshoot a failing PC.
- deltaonefour 4y agoThe issue is if the IT professional fails too many times... he's let go. Does this happen to a doctor?
