A special case...: It's a special case when a patient is diagnosed with anxiety and convinced that he has everything that can be wrong. In such a case, the patient should get information from a single, trusted primary care doctor. If the patient gets additional ideas of other possible but unlikely diseases, then the patient will have many many more things to be anxious about (more info can lead to worse anxiety).
