While Google’s autocomplete can be quite convenient, albeit creepy, it can also be pretty mean. I decided to see how Google’s autocomplete felt about various medical specialties. Apparently a lot of specialties are stupid and useless.

anesthesia

cardiologist

derm

endo

ER

endo

family docs

GI

gyn

internal medicine

neurologists

ob

eye

oncologist

path

pediatrician

James Chang is a radiologist and author of Oh Doctor, The Places You Will Go… He blogs at Poor MD.
