Very true. A friend of mine successfully diagnosed himself with rat bite fever after researching it for a few days before coming down with many of the major symptoms. He was literally laying on his death bed, due to most of his major organs failing, tell the doctors what was killing him. After they exhausted all of their other assumptions, they finally gave in and got a specialist in that specific field to come diagnose him. The two had a talk about how ignorant the doctors taking care of him were.
