google-autocomplete

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

plastics

psych

pulmonary

radiologists

surgeons

urologist Let us know how you feel about your specialty’s Google autocomplete.

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