With the rapidly increasing digitalization, people have started searching everything on google, right from their symptoms and differentials to the medicines they should consume. Often, doctors also experience similar cases when patients visit them after making all the possible 'homework'- list of the possible differentials, etc. It's good that patients know a few facts about their condition. But don't you think that this half-baked knowledge can cause unnecessary stress to the doctors.
Also, it is challenging to handle such patients at times. How do you deal with patients who come to you after gathering all the information from Google?
