    I really don’t like this attitude. It’s just smugness about medical knowledge, because it’s often paired with a hate for people that come in for things that are easily googlable… Directing people HOW and WHEN to do research would be so much more productive for a working doctor-patient relationship.

      It’s about the patients who think they know more than the person who went to school for like an extra 8 years and did hundreds of residency hours, because the patient googled some shit for 45 minutes.
