I also have no idea what you are trying to say.

I was just at the doctor a couple of times in November. Turns out I had a bronchitis, possibly with a bacterial superinfection.

So I was at the doctor to

  1. Check if my lungs were affected. is there a danger of a lung infection?
  2. Do I need antibiotics or should I sit it out?
  3. Get a doctors note (I was on sick leave for three and a half weeks)

This is nothing I could google. I actually did google and did not find bronchitis as an issue, but cold, influenza, and lung cancer. Google does not know how my lungs sound when I breathe.

So of course you should ask your doctor and not the internet.

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.

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.

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.
