We’ve all been there. As you go through your day-to-day, a medical question bubbles to the surface. Out of curiosity, you start Googling. This leads you to one article, which leads you to another, and the next thing you know, you’re scrolling through comments and certain that your question may be a full-blown medical crisis.
