So maybe you think you have ringworm. What do you do? You Google it, of course. UTI? Google. A stye? Google, please help. Well, Google heard your cries and frantic keyboard typing, so in early 2015, they started including medical facts in their "Knowledge Graph" (cool lingo, Google!), which is the first thing that grabs your eye on search results, all that helpful info packed into a box on the upper right corner of the page. But do you want to hear the best part of this news? They commissioned artwork from licensed medical illustrators (which is a thing you can be when you grow up, kids!), and these health illustrations are (accidentally) so funny. Looking for things to google? Here you go, kiddos! The Knowledge Graph works great for searches like "weather Los Angeles," "Stairway to Heaven lyrics," or "Eddie Murphy kids," but what does it look like when you have a stye? It looks like a cool cat in a hat and a necklace (on a man!). How do you know if you have mono? You're lying on the couch with your eyes half-closed, wearing a scarf. A pimple? You're squinting and putting on mascara. Good to know! These weird medical illustrations feature all kinds of sick people making funny faces for your enjoyment and education. Next time you are awake at 2 a.m. Googling your minor symptoms and convincing yourself you have meningitis, don't be scared by these creepy medical drawings that Google thinks might help your amateur medical research. That picture of the woman, stricken with arthritis during a lovely autumn walk, is here to help! Until you are stricken with a mystery illness that only Google disease drawings can help you self-diagnose, upvote the weirdest and most absurd Google medical illustrations in the Google knowledge graph below. Then go see how many years of school it takes to become a licensed medical illustrator. Maybe that is the career for you! 1 367 206 Stroke: You Are Just Standing Here with Some Coffee Major Depression: Your Brain Sparkles with Sadness Photo: Google Stomach Flu: You Enjoy Staring Dejectedly off Into Space Rabies: You Lost a Fight with a Raccoon Chicken Pox: You and Your Brother Sit Quietly in the Bathtub Bone Fracture: You Should Take a Skateboard Lesson Lyme Disease: You Wish You Had Some Pants with Two Full Legs Peptic Ulcer: Looks Just Like the Illustration for Constipation! 6 people just voted onCommon Cold: You Curse Your Enemies Into a Kleenex 9 people just voted onFood Poisoning: You Will Think Twice About the Next Picnic Hives: You Should Maybe Be More Worried About Your Spine? 4 people just voted onMono: You're Exhausted, But Still Have the Energy to Put on a Scarf Bunion: You Should Maybe Just Try Flats Tetanus: You Shouldn't Cheat at Kickball 9 people just voted onSprained Ankle: Hopefully You Are Flexible Enough to Reach Your Ankle with the Ice Meningitis: Your Skin Is See-Through 4 people just voted onBunion: You Should Maybe Just Try Flats Photo: Google see more on Bunion GIFTS41 people have voted onWhat Soldiers Really Want in Their Care PackagesCELEBRITIES8 people have voted onFamous Women You'd Want to Have a Beer With 14 182 98 Tetanus: You Shouldn't Cheat at Kickball Sprained Ankle: Hopefully You Are Flexible Enough to Reach Your Ankle with the Ice 4 people just voted onMeningitis: Your Skin Is See-Through 5 people just voted onUTI: You Wear Dresses with Phallic Designs on Them Boil: Maybe It's Just Backne Alzheimer's Disease: You're Honestly Sick of People Shoving Photos in Your Face 4 people just voted onMeasles: A Mother's Love Will Cure You Bipolar Disorder: You Clean and Nap for Weeks or Months Crohn's Disease: You Are So Over Taking the Stairs Pink Eye: You Cry a Lot Near a Glacier or Maybe Just Have Electric Blue Wallpaper?
