In an age of information, self-diagnosis is a real danger. The real key is to use information weather gained through internet search, conversations with family or friends, or second opinion to engage meaningful conversations with our healthcare providers. Conversations that truly answer pertinent questions, provide stimulus for taking a closer look (ie. is the diagnosis truly a horse–something common or a zebra–something not so common), and providing resources to help us not only manage our physical health but cope with the social-emotional consequences that come along with any given condition.
