What Have You Googled That Made You Freak out?

[Deactivated] on 13/09/2017 - 06:34

Ok people, so I read the thread about the guy finding cold sore cream and started to freak out.

There was a response in the thread about not googling anything medical, which brings me to the topic of the thread. I once had an infection in the mouth and googled the symptoms which told me that I had HIV. So after a few consultations with the doctor and undergoing a test for HIV at the melbourne sexual health clinic, I was given all clear.

It was a traumatic time and I learned a valuable lesson about not to use Dr Google.

Have you any such stories to share?

        OMG yes always gives me chills

        Those pictures have always made me very unsettled. I told my friend about it and they thought it was weird. I also get this feeling when I look really closely at skin, with how it's just such a weird pattern when it's dry

    Anything to do sex and teenagers, especially age of first sexual experience https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/tee…. I think of my teenage daughter, look at boys she hangs out with, remember when she was 3yrs old, and completely freak out.

    Earlier this year my wife suffered necrotising fasciitis. The doctors told me not to google it but of course I did. Terrible stuff with no known cause. Don't look at the google images.

      Agree (work in healthcare). Hope she has recovered and is o.k.

      • modsec802 on 13/09/2017 - 19:43

        Thanks. Not fully recovered but (just) ok. Pretty good outcome considering the doctors only gave her 50:50 chance of making it through

  • Slippery Fish on 13/09/2017 - 07:51

    Fyi dr Google is a seperate search.you need to click the … On the Google search page for more options then press … Again and that's where the proper Google dr search is.

    I woke up at 3am earlier this year with a very localised stomach pain and a fever. I put the symptoms into WebMD and the top hit it came back with was appendicitis. I didn't believe it (or wanted to) at the time so I went to work (my second week of a new job) just waiting for it to go away. At 5pm it was still bad as ever and I was starting to think it might have been correct, so I went to a GP, he referred me to emergency and sure enough, it was appendicitis. Basically it's not all bad, still a pretty helpful tool at times.

    Actual surgery wasn't so bad, because I paid the extra and got general anesthetics, so was completely knocked out during the procedure. The real fun was figuring what to eat afterwards since I had gauze padding on all four corners of my mouth

    For some reason every time I am going on an overseas holiday for the 2 weeks before I fly I always Google videos on plane crashes lol I'm a nervous flyer as it is but that makes me worse but for some reason I always do it.

    In a different way of freaking me out the Google search that most disturbed me was..

    Myself

    Didn't realise how much was actually up there and readily accessible to anyone who knows my name.
