Last but not least: Don't google sick
The internet is full of information about diseases and their treatment options. This can be helpful in individual cases - but googling diseases usually only makes you even more ill.
You scour the internet to rid yourself of the rising anxiety, but then what you find sends you into a panic all the more. Because almost any physical symptom can be a sign of a deadly disease.
However, each symptom on the Internet also indicates a whole range of diseases. In other words, Google doesn't just give you one diagnosis, but many. The Brazilian agency Festo came up with the claim: You cant trust in a diagnosis with 2,110,000 results. Search for a reliable doctor. The accompanying Festo poster urges people to seek professional support for physical complaints and to take out insurance with the health insurance company Amil.
You get a single diagnosis from real doctors, not 2,110,000, or at least at most as many as you ask doctors. (sis)
