My doctor actually Googled my symptoms while I was in the office. It's not actually a bad approach, as he put it any article ranking highly for all of the symptoms and no or few other ones is likely to be relevant.


Wow, reading this makes me wonder if a great deal of family doctors can be replaced by an expert system that can be assisted by a remote doctor in a centralized way. I call it 'Doctor in demand'


Next time you see your GP ask what their typical workload involves. I doubt the remote doctor would even be needed in 90% of cases!
