Doctors must really hate webMD

[verycontrary247]

This annoying girl I know from work posted this today: 

"Great...im super sick with slight fevers, swollen tonsils, iron taste in my mouth, severe body aches, severe fatigue, constant headache, loss of energy, and no appetite. My doctor is an idiot though, he tried to tell me i just have a really bad cold, thats horse shit though....i really think i might have tonsillitis or the flu"

::)Yeah, because they just let anyone walk in and decide to be a doctor. I'm sure the years and years of schooling make him less qualified than Google to diagnose your symptoms.

We're ALL doctors.

Just like we're all winners.

It pisses me off when I hear people complaining that their doctor doesn't know anything, they obviously have (insert webmd self diagnosis here) blah blah blah. Yeah because doctors just go to medical school for years and years paying out the nose for the hell of it.

I hate what the internet has done to society sometimes.

I'm pretty sure my mom gets all of her info from web md. That's why every 6 months she's convinced she has a tumor.

"Well they tested for strep and flu and supposedly both cane out negative, but i know for sure that what i have is NOT a cold. Im not coughing and im not congested. What i have is tonsillitis or some nasty flu type thing."

"I'm sorry, but what you have is a staggering case of stupid. There is no cure."

I have seen two FB statuses recently in which they are firing their doctor because they wouldn't call in antibiotics over the phone. Jackasses.

Ugh. I have a CW who throws antibiotics at her kids like there's no tomorrow. Aside from the ridiculousness of that, she doesn't even use them correctly. She mentioned something about her husband coming down with something, and she told him to "just take some of the leftover antibiotics from one of the times the kids needed them."

There shouldn't be leftovers, you super-bug creating hobag!

I hate people like this. There is no magic pill, just deal with it and you will get better!!
