On the other hand I was sick for 8 years and no doctor would take me seriously. Google suggested it was lupus, as did my family history, and my doctor laughed at me. Then 2 years later I was diagnosed with lupus by that same doctor. Mayyybe it wouldn’t take 10 years to diagnose if doctors would stop blaming every symptom on my weight, anxiety, or my period? There’s a huge difference between people assuming they have every disease they read about and people who know they are sick and doctors just won’t help them so they have to figure it out themselves.

"Doctor, I think I have a cyst in my ovaries!"

"Mr Thompson, you don't have any ovaries"

"OMG it's worse than I thought!"

I was smiling throughout the whole song..
Until endometriosis, when I burst out laughing 🤣

Perfect! My daughter, the veterinarian goes through the same thing. She has a mug that says, “Please don’t confuse your Google search with my DVM.”

“Help doc I have meiosis”
“Yes you are meant to divide cells”

To be fair, using WebMD to look up and learn about things I've already been diagnosed with had been extremely helpful in managing my symptoms for me. It's also helpful in judging which symptoms are severe enough to need medical attention/diagnosis.
I recently learned about POTs which matches a lot of my symptoms, and knowing I can try treating it at home first with a specialized exercise routine has saved me a potentially very expensive appointment with a cardiologist. Knowing is half the battle. But, it's just how you USE that information that's the problem.

Terrific, Doc Schmidt and Dr. Hand. I looked up Esse Health. How great you ended up there, Doc and Dr. Cheers.

If dr.s would take us seriously we wouldn't have to turn to web md! Endometriosis has a 10 to 11 year diagnosis time. Lupus is 6! Chronic fatigue syndrome is 12 to 14 years! Heck something as common as diabetes has a 4 to 7 year delay! So, ya, we know we're sick but doctors blow us off and gaslight us. So yup. We turn to the internet for help because it's all we've got!

According to a new study published in the journal Technology, Mind and Behavior, researchers found that internet use is associated with greater wellbeing in people around the world.
"Our analysis is the first to test whether or not internet access, mobile internet access and regular use of the internet relates to well-being on a global level, " said Prof Andrew Przybylski, of the University of Oxford, who co-authored the work.

Oh my god, this is gold. The rhymes – I lost it as soon as he said 'necrosis', then broke down in guffaws again at 'endometriosis'. Bravo bravissimo!

Oh man!!! This is GREAT!!!! This one is such a gem 😁👍 (I'm a retired RN, so this was extra entertaining!)

Nice, I don't have WebMD or DrGoogle syndrome, but I've been accused of it plenty. Apparently I need to stop googling my symptoms and "self diagnosing" myself with....things I'm actually diagnosed with. But unfortunately I've encountered several doctors who think that just because they'd never heard of a condition, I must've just diagnosed myself. Yeah, I can't imagine why a non neurologist hasn't heard of a subcategory of neurological condition that is rare enough I'm the first patient my doc has had in her decade as a doctor.

Just found your channel. Started having a single symptom around 25yrs ago. 17yrs ago it became episodes of multiple symptoms a few times a year and now its worse than ever. Sick of it so hope to learn more x

[A---tizz]

Hard enough to say one of those let alone sing all of them...that was super impressive

[jeanteil]

He might have endometriosis, oh my gosh! 😂😂

[joanhoffman]

This was hilarious! What dedicated medical professionals can do! It’s amazing! Also one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in ages. I’ll be watching this again! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

(Of course, this isn't a new problem - People used to have medical dictionaries. Useful... But also tend to cause people to hyperfixate on the worst possible explanation for their symptoms.)

That rocks! (From a performer)..kudos!
