Your doctor doesn't have access to your preferences or how you would rate various risks and venefits and unless by chance they happen to have skill at it they won't be able or even interested in discerning them from you

I have usually found that doctors are pretty happy to discuss my Google self-diagnoses with me. I don't know if that's just the doctors I randomly happened to find, or whether I seem educated and calm and so they assume I'm not just being a hypochondriac.
