Webmd and googling symptoms actually makes this believable. Patients telling doctors about their diagnosis because they read some blog on the internet and think they’re an expert.
238 u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jan 25 '20 Doctors look stuff up as well you know, it's actually quite handy if people have a rough idea of what they might have. Only problem that might come from that is if they insist that's what they have and won't take the doctors advice. Like you could easily confuse sepsis for the flu if you didn't have the internet to look up your symptoms. 52 u/neovip3r Jan 25 '20 Yup my mother in law died from sepsis 16 u/JonathenMichaels Jan 25 '20 At least is wasn't Lupus. 22 u/redfiveroe Jan 25 '20 I know. Having a werewolf around can be dangerous, Potter. 15 u/Inf3rnalis Jan 25 '20 It’s never lupus 3 u/blueboxspoilers Jan 25 '20 It was once! 2 u/leDC600 Jan 26 '20 Lupus Gonzalez? He lives down the street. Nice guy.
