Hear me out: Have you ever noticed a strange red bump on your skin, or felt a strange pain in your chest, or basically anything that then led you down a WebMD rabbit hole, causing you to believe that your dick was going to fall off while your skeleton disintegrated and your skin melted into goo like that dude from Robocop?

It’s no exaggeration to say that the internet has turned all of us into raging hypochondriacs, interpreting any suspicious body pain or physical ailment as death knocking on our slightly creaking door. And according to a new BBC report detailing how the new Apple Watch won’t only be able to automatically call emergency services if it detects you have suffered a fall, but also let you know if you have heart problems and should visit your doctor, things are likely to get worse.
