Summary
The article discusses the increasing tendency of patients, particularly those who have experienced multiple miscarriages, to conduct their own research online and gather information from various sources before consulting their doctors. This self-gathered information, often compiled from Google, WebMD, support groups, and personal networks, can result in a substantial amount of data that patients bring to their medical appointments. The article underscores the need for healthcare providers to adapt by finding ways to effectively integrate patient-led research into the clinical decision-making process, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where patients and doctors work together for the best outcomes.
