The first time when I looked to Google, and didn't get an answer. Has this happened to anyone?

I had to google something that was in the medical field. It is very specific. I think I have to figure it out myself.

I think I have to go back to about 38 years ago to a doctor who did surgery on me. He invented that surgery and he used it on me. I'm written up in medical books. He has since died. I think I'm having the same issue on my other leg. I was going to try to find what other doctors say.

More often than you'd think. That's why there's Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo as well. Those are the major search engines.

You may need to broaden your query as it seems to be a very specific one that not many people look for.

You can also try medical journals and such. You can also try searching medical sites to see if they yield better results.

If it was written up in a journal (published):

1. Some research journals (Scopus-indexed, Elsevier and some others) cannot be publicly accessed, unless you are belong to a research group; a university; a research institute, and such.
2. Some others can be easily accessed, however, you have to provide the very specific terminology.
3. Google scholar also provides findings on researches, but again, you need to be specific to find your case and the researches that have been conducted.
4. Type the doctor's name on the search box and see if she/he has put the findings on open access journals.

Hope it helps.
