This is the app that started it all. When I saw this, I said to myself, I should write a blog.
Pretty flashy icon there.
This is the app that, for a mere $39.99, is going to train you to be a doctor. You know how on Grey’s Anatomy they say, “I need a consult” to mean, “Come here and tell me how to do this thing”? Well, now you don’t have to yell at Dr. McStreamy any more. Because you have him in your iPhone.
With this app, invasive procedures are as easy as 1-2-3! Or, A-B-C.
Thoracentesis, for the record, is when the doctor sticks a long needle into your back to withdraw fluids that are collecting around your lung and making it difficult to breathe. (Thanks, WebMD!) It’s generally considered a safe procedure, though there is a risk of puncturing the lung, and other complications.
Now I want you to imagine something. You are having difficulty breathing. You go to the hospital and eventually you are in an office with a young doctor explaining this procedure to you. You take your shirt off and lean over the table so the doctor can begin. But nothing happens. You turn around, and there is the doctor, checking her iPhone.
“What are you doing?” you ask.
“Oh, just looking to see how this procedure is done,” she says.
Convince me that you would stay after witnessing this. Go ahead. I’m waiting.
