Doctors have the earned credibility to diagnose. Most 'medical' websites don't. There are thousands of diseases present, many sharing a lot of common symptoms; the average non MD graduate, could not conclusively diagnose themselves just by Googling their symptoms. Googling for it can give you an idea about what to expect. But thinking that you know better than your doctor because you read a few articles online is just arrogant and ignorant. Let the Doctors do their job, they are the professionals and have studied and trained long and hard to deserve the respect of trusting their diagnosis.
A better advice would be for people to research their diagnosis after their doctors appointment or simply, get a second opinion.
Love and respect to all the honest and dedicated medical practitioners!
