So let's talk about when you are ill and you are just a few keystrokes away from a self-diagonosic. Sometimes this is a good idea and sometimes it is just terrible and really freaks you out.

The Good Example
When it's something minor, you have had it before. So you just quickly swoop on google and confirm. When you are 100% certain you call your doctor up to let them know. Get in, get treated and then the situation is resolved.

The Bad Example
It's something that you haven't been through before. Google just freaks you out - it gives you a number of illnesses that mach your symptoms and one is worse than the other. When you consult your doctor she tells you that it's probably nothing and the best thing is to wait out the situation to see if the symptoms go away or change. Then Google self-diagnosics is really just being a head fuck.

Are you for or against trying to self-diagnose your symptoms on Google?
