Do You Do Self Diagnosis

[Nomad]

If you aren't in medical profession, self diagnosis is bad. However, in the age of internet and tools like Google, and even ChatGPT, I think a lot of us do self diagnosis.

When I don't feel good, I normally go for test myself instead of visiting doctor. I first ask on Google and read a couple of medical journals, or ask on ChatGPT. I have a couple of cousins who are doctor or work in pharmaceutical companies and I ask them for the confirmation.
I sometimes start taking medication myself or go for related test instead of getting an appointment with a doctor.

No I don't do this as I'm no doctor or a medical personnel. I prefer to get my diagnosis from.thr doctor to he sure

No, I do not self diagnosis. When I do not feel good, I always seek out a medical professional. I do have a younger sister that is a trained medical professional(medical assistant), but I'd rather make an appointment with my doctor in any situation.

I'll try and figure out minor stuff, if something needs dr attention or not. But I still go to the experts (who may or may not be using AI).

Well, self diagnosis isn't good to do all the time but to be very honest, I do that once in a while especially when I'm having the same symptoms of what I've had before.

I do self diagnosis but I don't do self medication. I always consult a doctor

I would never self diagnosis, not for myself nor my daughter because I can't risk getting it wrong. Life doesn't have a spare.
