How often do I have to tell you ignore Doc Google and stick to the NHS and BHF websites. There is a lot of outdated and incorrect (some total rubbish) information out there. Enjoy the day and don't waste it Googling!

[Kwagmire in reply to MichaelJH]

I agree totally doc google my god I should have died a year ago he says but for almost 4 months I didn’t know any better so yes to everyone f doc google just look on bhf I think in America where doc google lives they pay for medical expenses if they can frighten people to thinking hf is a death sentence then they will make billions in insurance payments hope this makes sense god bless kwagmire

[Yasyass in reply to MichaelJH]

Yes I know Michael numerous times you have told me probably because when gp tells you somethings are not understood or why so then curiosity sets in and start googling and then keep reading so much it’s confusing but you are right and many others as to say stop googling because can cause much more worry and thinking And instead could be doin something more worthwhile and enjoyable hope you have a nice day

[Hidden in reply to Yasyass]

I stick to nhs and bhf sites on the whole, as they provide quite enough to think about.

I ignore anything that is non uk, and anything that is more than a couple of years old, because I feel that only the latest uk information is of use to those living and being treated in the UK.
