I have a motto in life, it goes something like this, "If Google doesn't know the answer, no one needs to know the answer."
Basically it is a testament to my love for Google and it knowing the answer to every question I could possibly imagine. But every once in a while I wish Google didn't know quite so much or rather that I didn't know how to use Google.
This happens when I Google things about medical conditions I have and stumble upon stories about how a women in North Carolina or somewhere like that died from a UTI (urinary tract infection) in 5 days from the start of her symptoms. You can put that towards the top of the list of things I would be better off not knowing. Since I get UTIs quite frequently you can imagine why this information was distressing.
Or when I Google what to expect during an upcoming medical procedure and the results are kind of scary.
I think there is a pattern here. Maybe I should just stop Googling anything related to medicine and my health, it might save me quite a bit of anxiety and stress.
Unfortunately, what has been read cannot be unread and is now forever on the list of things that I know and here I am stressing out about my doctors appointment this afternoon. Damn you Google.
