Lazy Web Weekend Request : I’m not going to lie, I gots me a million brilliant ideas every day and not the inclination nor the resources to make them all real. So every Friday afternoon I’m going to spot the world some genious and anyone can have the weekend to run with it … or not.
Here’s this week’s premise: Recently, I’ve been scratching like mad at the rash on the inside of my right palm (har har, chuckle chuckle, tee hee! i know, i know). After it got past ridiculous, I was thinking to myself, “dangit, what’s wrong with me?” And right as I was about to get out my digital camera to snap a pic of the rash to email to my med school friend, the idea hit me : what this situation needs is the power of the Internet.
Basically, what we’re looking at is Hot or Not meets WebMD meets match.com. You upload the pic of your weird medical condition (even by cameraphone!) and the good people of the Internet diagnose you. We’d want to aim this at budding med school students and bored dermatologists. Don’t forget to add ratings and make it wiki-like.
The future of free health care is in your hands people. Or in my hand. Er, whatever.
Everyone needs a hug.
