  5. Re:mis-diagnosis on Cyberchondria · · Score: 1

    I didn't say that people should use the internet as a second opinion. I said that they are now able to do some research before seeking a second opinion. Doctors like anybody else make mistakes, their opinions are not, nor will they ever be, final. I have known people who have gone to multiple doctors who have given multiple different opinions over the years.

    But sometimes doctors are wrong and mis-diagnose problems. If someone believes that they have a problem well then they can research it before looking for a second opinion
