![I don't pretend you don't google your child's symptoms before you come in.
In fact, I expect it.
Instead of discouraging google(ing), I say "OKAY I hear you saying you're concerned about _______ and I imagine you looked it up and saw that could mean ___[cancer usually]____ and here is why I do not think we need to worry about that today."
If you google it (which you will) but then we don't discuss the worry it'll linger even with pediatrician-level reassurance provided.
Most parents are very savvy to the fact that google usually makes parents worry about the worst thing possible so once we discuss why it's unlikely to be that then we can quickly address the more likely things.
Google and take your google results with a grain of salt and just ask :)](https://drphilboucher.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
