Many Physicians are not a big fan of Google or internet sites or search engines that might be causing a negative impact on their patients. Patients who Google search their symptoms come to the Physicians with fear and queries that might not even be related to what they might have but would still doubt the Physicians diagnosis because what they have searched up might be something else. This has also caused a rise in "Cyberchondria", as the patients do deep Google searches on their symptoms. But, studies being conducted on Dr. Google or any internet searches state otherwise. After many studies and analyses, 50% of the studies have concluded that searching up symptoms on the internet prior consultation to with their Physicians might not be such a bad idea.
