The problem with Dr. Google (I like the naming ) is that it doesn't give you one answer. It gives you a range of possibilities. Yes, if you look harder you may find the most probable answer, and I did that, but it's very exhausting and time consuming. Sometimes I read for hours at a time to pinpoint the most probable cause of some symptoms I had, and after that I went to a doctor to confirm (I cannot rely on google alone for a diagnosis). I think it's more useful once you know the diagnosis. It gives you more information. The general doctor I saw and said I might have something told me it's not serious. I was relaxed until I read about it on google, and most sites agreed that it could be precancerous condition and needs medical intervention.

For doctors, and let's be honest here, it's a business. They want to see as many patients as they can, and they follow the insurance and hospitals' policies to maintain a certain level of profit. The medicine is not personalized. They rely on statistics what tests should and when to be done. In my experience, I haven't seen a doctor who is willing to sit down and explain things to me comprehensively may be in 30 minutes. I'm not a regular patient in the sense that I want to understand and know things, and cannot rely on doctors completely. That's why I keep seeing different doctors. I too lied to some doctors to do some tests. Also, many conditions are difficult to be discovered without clear symptoms, at which stage, it might be a little late. I heard that your breath can show if you will have a cancer or not even years before it develops, but we don't have the cost-effective techniques to detect that. Maybe in 20 years we all will have these at our homes. Who knows. We hope.
