Overview
Synopsis
In this fast-paced, ten-minute play, a doctor sees two of his patients. One is sick, but is convinced that the doctor is wrong and she's perfectly healthy, while the other is healthy but is convinced that she is really sick. With a hypochondriac who places great faith in the diagnoses of her “friends on the internet” and a stubborn patient who would rather place her faith in “the word of a Level Four Master Chi Guru”, what’s a doctor to do?
