That is correct. A google search is not equivalent to advice from a medical professional. But, a person's computer is available 24 / 7 for medical advice and their individual Physician may NOT be - they might be on the golf course when a patient FEELS a need for information. Physicians are overworked and often must decrease the time allotted for each patient visit. They have hospital rounds and etc. They have the US "insurance system and lobby" leading them around by rings in their noses! Doctors in the 1950s had things different than they do today. Today they are NOT like individual and INDEPENDANT small business entrepreneurs. They are merely COGS in a large corporate wheel - "step out of line and the man comes and kicks you in ..........the knee"
......Young people that are internet savvy want to have medical knowledge and all other knowledge that is waiting there with a few clicks on the "Google Machine". Knowledge IS more universal and important to the average person today than it was in the 1950s!
