Many years ago, I went to my GP and she told me a story from when she was in med school, pre-internet. She had a really bad headache and went through with researching the cause. After hours of going through research papers and textbooks, she determined she had brain cancer. So even before WebMD have us all brain cancer, doctors were already self diagnosing it.
