RULES DOCTORS DO NOT OBEY, FIND THEM OUT!!!!

Hi, today I bring to you common rules/advises physicians do not follow. They are a lot of them but we will talk about four common ones

1. Don’t Google your symptoms!!!!
   

Really, If you head straight to Google to investigate every rash, bump, or headache and other symptoms when you report back to your doctors, you’re likely driving them crazy. Many innocuous symptoms are associated with serious conditions, and relying on Doctor Google could leave you with a case of cyberchondria. Plus, all of that Googling means more patients filling doctors’ waiting rooms for minor health issues that don’t require medical treatment. But while doctors will discourage patients from Googling, a 2011 study found that they don’t take their own advice. In fact, researchers found that 46 percent of doctors search online for information used to diagnose and treat patients. Of those doctors, 63 percent reported changing a diagnosis based on information found through online searches. Let's give it up for Google. In the meantime, doctor's are irreplaceable!!!

1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
   We’ve all heard that in order to be well hydrated, it’s necessary to drink eight glasses of water each day. While the actual amount of water you need is up for debate, it’s universally accepted that hydration is essential for good health, and that even mild dehydration can leave you feeling sluggish and tired. If you struggle to drink enough water, however, you’re not alone. “I am permanently dehydrated and never drink water, but I recommend that you should! The only thing that makes me want to drink water is exercise,” Heaner says

3.See a dentist every six months

Most dentists urge patients to come in for a cleaning every six months, but a 2013 study published in the Journal of Dental Research found that adults in good health can get away with a single cleaning per year. “The findings suggest that for low-risk patients, a yearly prophylactic visit does prevent tooth loss over a protracted period of 16 years, and there’s no significant difference in an added visit,” said Dr. Robert J. Genco, a periodontist and SUNY distinguished professor of oral biology at the University at Buffalo, in an interview with The New York Times

4.Don’t skip breakfast
“Everybody says it’s the most important meal of the day, but I’m often not hungry first thing in the morning. I’ll often skip breakfast and save the calories for a late-morning snack or lunch,” Hansen says. Is an a.m. meal as critical as we’ve been led to believe?
