hypochondriaphile

I read this, I read that 
You have to stop reading 
crap, go to the doctor 
and what (s)he tells you
that's-that. On the internet 
medications have contraindications 
and side-effects so fat, you can't buy 
them all up, for all
the insurance in the world! And 
you'll tease and convince and titillate
yourself to a case of the vapors, waiting
anxiety on your health. Seeking truth in 
in the strangest place. Some anecdotal wealth
of lies and miracles prized 
from screens. 

Go in. 
It won't kill you
to take advice 

from someone who means 
to tell you what's wrong. That is 
if they find it was in there 

all along.
