This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I really don't like this attitude. It's just smugness about medical knowledge, because it's often paired with a hate for people that come in for things that are easily googlable... Directing people HOW and WHEN to do research would be so much more productive for a working doctor-patient relationship.

It's about the patients who think they know more than the person who went to school for like an extra 8 years and did hundreds of residency hours, because the patient googled some shit for 45 minutes.
