    At the practice I used to use, there was a PA that would work with me. He’d give me the actual medical terms for stuff he was telling me he was worried about and between that session and the next I’d look them up, read all I could about them. Occasionally I’d find something he would peg as X and I’d find Y looked like a better match. I’d talk to him, he’d disappear for a moment and come back we’d talk about X and Y and sometimes I was right.

    “Google’s not bad, I use it sometimes, we have access to stuff you don’t have access to, but sometimes that stuff is outdated. With Google you need to have the education to know what when an article is genuine or likely and when an article is just a drug company trying to make money”

    Dude was pretty cool
