When patients don't feel heard, and that's often the case when we as physicians have very little time to see them and they are confused about the type of information, or they don't feel heard because they don't really have the time they would like with their physician. When that happens, they are going to find information from sources they can understand.
And what concerns me is that when people do that, they may actually go to something that feels good. They may go to somebody who has a consistent message, but that message may be completely wrong, and it may not be conducive to their health in the long run.
