A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

Modern doctors know nothing. Ive been watching them run out of the room and google what I have wrong with me for over a decade.

They barely even know basic medicine.

You have to get deep into specialists, long wait times, and $ to see a "real" doctor now.

Before Google, doctors and lawyers used to keep thick stacks of books in their offices so they would reference them for patient concerns.

All people who work any kind of intellectual job do this.

If it important enough to get right, its imperative you double check with a source.

Googling isn’t the issue for me, it’s the lack of concern for their patients and ability to listen. They document things to protect themselves, it seems like.

I lost out on a good job recently because it required medical clearance and even though I’m pretty healthy, things were found in my record I didn’t know about and that got the entire process terminated due to “non disclosure” which is such bs because I wasn’t trying to intentionally hide anything

Yeah and they usually get basic things incorrect.
