My wife is a Congregational Nurse. Her job is to provide medical advice and access to care to the faith-based community. In practice she is also the neighborhood nurse regardless of what church they go or don’t go to. She even does telephone triage: she gets pictures of body parts on her phone (NO, not that kind! Usually it’s of rashes and cuts and such).
Her advice ranges from, “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.” to “Hang up and dial 911 immediately!”
She hates Web MD. People call her up stating that they have this or that disease or ask about taking some sort of bogus cure for a symptom.
I found a Minion cartoon that states, “Never ask Google for medical advice. I went from having a mild headache to clinically dead in three clicks.”

He’s just confirming online what his mirror has been telling him for years.

Another website indicates joint pain and itching are zombie-like symptoms.

The bad diagnosis is : UNJUST YOUNG and UNJUST OLD.
I’m just young yet… still learning.

Old sucks. I’m 80 and every morning when I get up, I’m sure I’ll be dead by tomorrow.

There is a cure for growing old, but the side effects are murder.

Doesn’t sound like something WebMD would say, usually it’s “You’re gonna die”.

I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
I cannot screw
Oh my god, what can I do?
My memory shrinks
My hearing stinks
No sense of smell
I look like hell
My mood is bad – can you tell?
My body’s drooping
Have trouble pooping
The Golden Years
have come at last
The Golden Years
can kiss my ass.
