JK, most of my experience has been the same! Doctors want me to be ignorant, I've had one tell me not to be looking on the internet unless it's the NIH site (which ironically was where I got the information that she told me was incorrect). I'm also worked as a nurse, but I don't dare to tell them that, since "nurses make the worst patients".

@sandij As I commented before, I have been fortunate with most of my doctors being caring and respectful. I'm sorry to hear that most of your experience has not been positive. They do always downplay what you may have read thinking it might not be from a reputable site but I always tell them that I am very careful about that. I go to the NIH site or the Mayo site. I find that Mayo has a really excellent site with information about just about everything. There are a couple of other reputable sites but they are not generally as comprehensive as Mayo and NIH.
