Patient: Doctor my baby has ulcer

Doc: Wow, your 6 month old baby, that is interesting. How did you know?

I checked Google, his faeces is black. Its ulcer, I know it

Doc: Okay... what do we do now?

P: What kind of question is that?

Doc: You already know what is wrong... lead Image
Your Google check is not equivalent to an MBBS degree,

We are trained to distinguish one condition from another even when they look alike.

In this case, a simple history showed that baby was taking iron supplements which could explain the black stools.

Always see a doctor
Am I saying don't check Google? No.

Check by all means, but understand that to properly interpret what you read, you will need a health practitioner to help explain it to you.

If you are not convinced with what a doctor says, you can request or see another qualified doctor.
Also check verifiable medical sites for your information written by actual health professionals.

One example is aprokodoctor.com. Written by healthcare practitioners including myself.
