The last time I went to a doctor, she started typing my symptoms into a computer and I was like "Wtf? Are you googling this??".
They definitely don't always have the answers. But sometimes it has more to do with whether they seem like they know what they're doing and whether they care. You might get the same result from two doctors, but one instils you with confidence and the other one leaves you wondering how they even graduated. Just depending on how they deal with patients. But at the end of the day, it's the same result.
That said, you should get a second opinion. Maybe this doctor is just a bit crap.
Just a joke; I don't think the doctor was actually googling it. Although, her looking at the computer screen didn't exactly inspire me with confidence either if I'm honest. But I'm sure she knew what she was doing.
That said - do I think they know every disease? Well.. not exactly, but kind of. It's their job. Before computers, I don't remember them consulting textbooks during a visit. And if they did, I don't think it would have come across to well!
Anyway, I'm not really criticizing, it was just my impression. And obviously I'm glad that she used whatever resources were at her disposal...
I don't feel I have come into her office with some medical phenomenon that's never been experience in all of history so I have to agree with you , thanks for taking a look from my side . I am trying to be fair with her and I have been patient the last 6 or 7 months but to be handed a script of pills for the next 6 months and told well maybe it will figure it self out , good luck kiddo basically ... I don't find this acceptable ..at least get a defined diagnosis . I explain myself more in the comments lower . Thanks though

I believe they have a computer system that helps them look up stuff, yes. Do you really think they know everything about every disease in the world?
Or, perhaps they were making notes. Which they have to do for future reference and records.
