    I think they’re trying to say that googling your symptoms is free but going to the doctor is way too cost prohibitive and might result in your paying a ton of money just to hear that you should get more sleep or take some Advil.

      Also that’s if you see a doctor. You may see a PA who gives you 15 minutes and sends you home with a nebulizer.

      Ah, I see. I kind of get that. Hate to go to the doctor for a sick note, when I know I just need sleep and tea.
