Ask HN: If doctors are right, why would you still research online?
Hi all,
I am recently building a healthcare platform for patients to receive better personalized medical info. One thing that I would like to ask general audience is that, why do so many patients (and their families) do their own research online [accordingly to Google, 70% of us do], even after the doctors tell them their best suggestion?
What triggers you to believe whatever info you receive online, vs. what your doctor told you to do?
Greatly appreciate your suggestion.
