Apparently, thinking and information aren’t highly valued by the Google-raised patient:
There is so little respect for the mind these days, and medical education in general. When you can Google your health and play doctor in your mind, that some how extrapolates to a dumbing down of the cognitive physician.
It’s almost as if the patient believes that since they “know” what’s going on, or they can “figure it out” on line, that somehow their primary care doc is just as simple minded. They seem to foolishly believe that 7 years of post graduate training is not as simple as playing Google MD.
