Thank you, very helpful information. I’m guilty of googling symptoms a lot.

My sis does when I tell her how I am doing and what docs have said – I don’t. A “friend” of mine does it all the time I mention things. I have not yet been successful in making them stop. I don’t want to know. If I want to know things I ask my “family doc”. For the rest: unis, … official sites – and never for a diagnosis. AI? Only over my dead body.
Or: how to make google not to suggest the worst possible case but the most common ones? If it goes on with people looking up their symptoms, I’d much rather get rid of google search and all other ai on all phones worldwide to stop that.

In my case the problem is between alternative healthcare and Google I know what’s happening to me (I’m having repeat stage 1 heart attacks and silent strokes, coronary spasms and cerebral vascular spasms), but MDs don’t believe me, don’t know what’s causing it after $40,000 of tests, and don’t care.

It’s really frustrating when you know exactly what you have and the doctor won’t believe you. I’ve heard a lot of “it CAN’T be that. That’s a RARE condition.” Like rare conditions are impossible.

People aren’t like an F150, where a scan tool indicates a bulb out. Medicine is a chronicle of pathology that requires intervention. There is no medical benefit for googling your perceived medical problems. A doctor is there to see what’s wrong with you, because you don’t know (what to search).
