New reality series: Don't Tell the Doctor

Don't Tell the Doctor

Thanks to the Internet, medical and health information has never been so accessible for people everywhere.

But this world of detail may do more harm than good as more and more young people take to the web to self-diagnose rather than relying on the expertise of a medical professional.

In this series, four dynamic young doctors are on a mission to rescue a generation that feels abandoned by their doctors. They treat an array of problems, from dermatitis to diet pill addictions, among self-diagnosing men and women whose reliance on the Internet has gotten them into trouble.

Can they fix these DIY disasters and put their patients back on the path to health?

Yeah, I google health stuff and I've made some important discoveries. I've even had a hospital sister getting iffy with me by asking: "What is your technical expertise?" when I've weighed in with my diagnosis. 

Personally I believe that you need to use a subtle mix of what doctors say, your own experience and online resources because I definitely don't believe you must just accept everything a doctor says because they're a doctor e.g. I've learnt that you always need to be aware of the side effects of any medication they prescribe.
