Do you have any idea how much can go wrong with a human body and in how many different ways? And we're not even close to figuring out all the illnesses. Sure, brain cancer they can detect just fine, but try to go to a doctor because you're fatigued or have joint pain or other inflammation related issues. See the shit show you'll run into then. 9 out of 10 times they'll toss you through a few machines and then claim it's psychological.

Most doctors are just guessing, some are just better at making it appear they know what they are doing to improve placebo. I rather have a doctor that's using Google than one that thinks he knows what's wrong but doesn't fact check.

Yes medicine is complicated, but I question whether a general purpose search engine, searching potentially untrustworthy or out of date medical information, is the best tool for diagnosis.

That's the reason for the doctor. They have the foundational knowledge to evaluate the information and the source.
