Dr. Grumpy: "That's a migraine."
Mrs. Tech: "No, it's absolutely NOT a migraine! You should know better!"
Dr. Grumpy: "Why are you so sure it's not a migraine?"
Mrs. Tech: "The iPhone app says so."

A migraine? A MIGRAINE?! Puuh-leeeaseeee... who gave you that MD? Innit obvious it's something much more ominous and deadly and needs an MRI NOW!!!
Oh the interwebs, self-diagnosing idiotitis daily
Sometimes the web is good for diagnosing things, though. My son was really sick, I googled his symptoms and Dr. Google suggested he had bacterial meningitis. I brought him to the doctor and guess what? He had bacterial meningitis.
Because, after all, the IPhone app knows WAY more than a mere MD. Sheesh!
Gotta love especially the "You should know better!!"
If you can't believe the little green pigs, who can you believe?
I play flight control on my iphone, think I could get some on-call work at the FAA? I am already trained.
As a 14-year migraine patient, I now know what/who NOT to consult about my migraines. Sheesh! And how dare that person talk to you that way Doctor!!!
Did you ask her why she was there or why on earth she was wasting your time? Did you drop kick her? Can I drop kick her?
She sounds like my hypochondriac, nervous wreck sister-in-law! NO medical background whatsoever and she argues with me about symptoms and what they could be.
The Voices In My Head are saying that They know better than any stupid iPhone app. And if I can't trust the Voices, who can I trust???
I think there should be an ICD.9 code for Googlechondria.
She would have felt better if you had invented some obscure jungle virus for your diagnoses. The only problem would have been this "new medical crises" would be all over the news before sunset.
So what does the Dr. App say it is?
A new world. iDiots.
I guess this is the next generation of Dr Google?
iGiveup, there's no hope.
First it was treat the patient and not the monitor, now we will need to add, treat the patient and not the iphone/ipad app!
"But is the iPhone app Board-certified?"
