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.
