When Doctors ‘Google’ Their Patients

Patients are, across the board, pretty rubbish at giving histories. They overlook things because they don't think it relevant or don't want to tell their doctors for some reason (even though itis relevant). This is especially true of drug and alcohol abusers.

I'm not sure most of those types of things would show up in a cursory search.

You may be underestimating the stuff people post on facebook these days.
