“Self-diagnosis is a modern day healthcare crisis.”

“Sonnet of Self-Diagnosis

Superstition is the opium of the ill-informed public,
Conspiracy is the opium of the over-informed public.
With ten minutes of googling every flipping flat-earther
feels and behaves like a reputable rocket scientist.

Human mind has a prehistoric predisposition of paranoia,
To counteract ignorance mind cooks up brilliant fantasies.
Thus scientific expertise succumbs to facebook expertise,
Facebook groups become authority on medical diagnosis.

Self-diagnosis is a modern day healthcare crisis,
Where the patient desperately tries to redeem control.
In trying to oust the experts from science and medicine,
Google certified society only heralds its own funeral.

Take people out of healthcare, and healthcare is dead.
Take doctors out of healthcare, and healthcare is damage.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo
