Doctor googles is probably double edged sword..

March 05, 2021 07:39AM
In some ways, I'm sure real doctors hate people who try to self-diagnose, but its always a good idea, imo, to get as much info as possible.. in my case, I was right about my gallstones/gallbladder, so it allowed me to go straight to the gastro doc for a scan..

I had the biggest problems with the kidney tumor, which is still on the table and being dealt with.. but, I'm glad I empowered myself to figure out that the problem I was having with gallstones/gallbladder was serious enough to warrant going into a doc.. I'm one of those types that won't go to a doc unless its absolutely necessary.. googling my symptoms mademe aware that, more than likely, I was not going to be able to ride that one out..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
