To google or not to google? That is the question

To answer, let´s check what Sir William Osler has to say.
He was one of the "Big Four" founding professors at John Hopkins Hospital as the first Professor of Medicine and founder of the Medical Service there. (The "Big Four" were William Osler, Professor of Medicine; William Halsted, Professor of Surgery; Howard Kelly, Professor of Gynecology; and Willima Welch, Professor of Pathology.)
He liked to say, "He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all."
My conclusion: Dr google is a must once you have seen a doctor and have an established diagnosis. Checking for symptoms can be troubolesome because symptoms for the same disease may be very different and give you wrong clues.
