Medical Marvels

I received an electronic message from my doctor's office today, alerting me to the fact that I will likely never see him in person ever again, unless I am at death's door. The email detailed all the new and exciting ways I can connect with my doctor if I'm feeling poorly, which clearly is a condition frowned upon according to said note.

I can reach him online to set up an in-person appointment, God forbid I should be that sick. No more waiting on hold on the phone! Now you just wait for the return email telling you when to come in, you should live that long.

There was more, all about how I could use their new service wherein I don't even see a doctor or nurse in person and just have a Zoom appointment. That would be great if I have a rash or acne or something that shows, but if my problem is a tummy ache, heart attack or migraine, then what? Oh wait. Then I can book myself an emergency appointment online. Well, that's a relief.

Basically, it's over for doctors. Their heyday when they were seen as Gods walking among us has passed. So stop sending your kids to med school and send them to Computer Code University. And for God's sake, don't get sick! And if you do get sick, just Google it. That's what they do anyway.
