LostInTorture I suggest you make a quick retraction on the 'douch' name calling there really is NO NEED for it!
Doctors do refer to the internet for information because the information on there is reliable but the difference is doctors have a medical background ..everyday people don't so they tend to jump to the wrong conclusion...
Doctors also continue to study through out there careers, they are constantly updating there knowledge..
There is also a new psychological condition spurred on by people self diagnosing on the internet its called 'cyberchondria'
People can learn a lot but they don't have the core basics of medical education to decipher between the different medical conditions .. and when people read about possible illnesses then then start taking on the symptoms .. and also when people research before going to the doctors they sometimes narrow in too much on what they think it is and don't discuss all symptoms with the doctor and/or basically go to the doctors telling them what they have rather then asking...its a concern when people go to a doctor and think they know more about a condition than the person who actually has the qualifications and a network of peers to exchange medical knowledge with
Its fine to look online for information but it should not be the be all end all of diagnosing something.
