Any thoughts on Self-Diagnosing?

Believe me, when your appendix ruptures, you will know it.
Mostly because you'll be in too much pain to google the symptoms.

Self-diagnosis is shit.
If you don't have years' worth of medical knowledge delivered by an accredited institution (i.e. not WebMD), you aren't qualified to make a diagnosis. End story.

Oh yeah, I knew after the second time. Even though I understood it on an intellectual level, I couldn't talk myself out of believing it. Because I'm weak.

And self-diagnosis encourages thinking like this.

Like @autisticdragonkin said, you'll end up thinking you have smallpox every time you get a pimple.
