Dr. Google Is Always In

12 Jan Dr. Google Is Always In

Yes, it’s true. Canadians spend more time researching medical issues on line than they do banking, checking out sports scores, or even keeping up to date on the latest news. Sometimes information gleaned from online research can be life saving, as in the case of the 17-year old who diagnosed his own rare condition, but with all that information out there, from all those unregulated sources, it’s patient beware. Dr. Google doesn’t always have all the right answers.

Read my column in the Kelowna Daily Courier and tell me what you think!

Here’s to our health,
