Many years ago I was told by a very good older GP that if he went to a doctor and he looked up a book (pre google days) to check something he was much happier than one who thought they knew it all and was too arrogant to check.
There is no way a doctor can know every aspect of every disease and I think your GP Lilith must be a good cautious doctor who is willing to check that what they thought you had was actually the correct diagnosis.
Yes we can google too but we don’t necessarily have access to all the more complex and academic sites that the professionals use and most lay people wouldn’t understand the technical language anyway.
