When ‘Dr Google’ Gets It Wrong

We’ve all done it - experienced a persistent headache, a twinge in the knee, or some chest pains, and headed straight to Google for answers.

Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh takes us on a virtual tour of the misinformation that is available online, especially in the realm of musculoskeletal and joint problems.
