Don't Make Me Sick
Check out this new medical comedy web series, "Don't Make Me Sick" about a hypochondriac doctor! It was written by an Emmy-winning comedy writer and guest stars a bunch of talented comedians. Plus, it's about a doctor who is also a hypochondriac. Very funny stuff!

This Is What I Do
April 21, 2009
I worry constantly about getting sick.Bumped (tapped,really)my head the other day and had full blown panic attack that I'd fractured my skull. Had a headache and thought I had an anuerysm. Burned the back of my throat a little with a hot drink,started thinking that my throat was going to close up.A little pimple on my head, thought it might go into my brain.My eyes are a little red so they must be infected. If I lack energy,I think it must be luekaemia.If I get puffed,I worry that I'm going to have a heart attack. Etc.Hypochondria sucks.
