Confusion?

No danger of that. The difference is quite obvious: most of the results of a Google search aren't trying to sell me a cabinet full of overpriced drugs.

If my choices are to gather information and filter it myself, or pay a GP with a lukewarm I.Q. and a degree from what's left of our so-called university system to filter it for me, I choose the former. General practitioners exist to: 1) Get you on as many recurring medications as possible and; 2) Collect referral fees from the specialists they send you to after they order lab tests and then scratch their heads like a monkey trying to peel a plastic banana when they get the results.

In riposte, please do not confuse your medical degree with my significantly higher intelligence, because I react very poorly to being patronized.
