Today, I went to see my gynecologist. She was writing my symptoms up in my chart on her computer. After a little while, I noticed that she had a confused look on her face and was reading something instead. When I took a peek at the computer screen, I saw that she was Googling my symptoms. FML

Today, I went to a new doctor. While filling out charts she looked up and said, "I'm assuming you are single." FML

Today, I went to the doctor about my bruised runners toes. She was inexperienced when It came to athletic injuries, so she googled my condition. I just paid to have her tell me exactly what I had already just googled before I left for my appointment. FML

Today, at work as a gynecologist, I called in my last patient of the day. As soon as I took a peek, I noticed that she had stuck googly-eyes above her vagina. She told me with a straight face not to be afraid, because "She doesn't bite." FML

Today, I went to the gynecologist. In the waiting room they had decorative words that spelled out "Relax" and "Enjoy". FML

Today, I went to my gynecologist's for a check-up. After the doctor checked me I went to the bathroom. It turns out the walls aren't soundproofed, because I could hear the doctor telling his assistant, "God! How did she ever find a husband?" FML

Today, I went to the hospital for a scan. The tech went wide-eyed and stared at his screen in horror before realizing I could see him. He wouldn't tell me what he saw, apparently only my doctor is allowed to do that. So now I have to wait for god knows how long to get my results back. FML

Today, I was at a party. Trying to overcome my social anxiety, I was trying to take part in conversations. So, when a girl mentioned she had a doctor's appointment next morning, I blurted out: "What kind of a doctor?" Everyone stared as she responded: "A gynaecologist." FML

Today, I went to the doctor. They did a test and said they would email me the results. My girlfriend saw the email that said "The test was positive", and now she thinks I'm cheating on her with someone named Doctor Johnson. FML

Today, I went to the doctor because I felt sick. He told me to describe the symptoms I had. With every new symptom I described, he took a step back. FML

Today, I was sitting in the doctor's waiting room and thought that I was alone. I let rip two massive farts before realising there was a very short woman behind the computer screen at the desk. FML

I've been to 2 different doctor's that searched my problem on wikipedia and then printed the page out for me.

We can see you were first, Fidelis, you have a little #1 to the left of the date and time. And to the OP, I hear that that's not too uncommon, which is really sad, but true.

That's actually really common. I mean it's really no different than looking through medical journals just faster and with a computer.

#58: please don't judge the entire medical community by your bad luck with doctors. i for one would certainly appreciate that. #56: i somewhat agree with you. noone can remember every single thing they are taught. that's just impossible. however, the gyno shouldn't have consulted Google unless he or she was looking for a specific reputable location. there is a large amount of false information on there. there are medical reference books for this sort of situation. to the OP: there are some rare combinations of symptoms that can prove rather perplexing. i agree the physician should not have used Google, but keep in mind a doctor cannot know the answer to every problem, no matter how hard he or she tries. i'm sure the same is true for whatever your occupation is.

What's wrong down there that your "symptoms" are obscure enough to be googled? Since we don't know what you were there for, its very possible that she had never dealt with whatever it is you were seeing her for. I would have been worried if you were there for a routine exam and she was googling...

lol. my doctor once asked me to step outside of his office and sit in the waiting area after i explained my symptoms to him. After 10 minutes he calls me back and precedes to explain to me what I had from a book.
