Medical Alienation
This concept was coined during a Chicano Marxism Ethnic Studies class. I mentioned the way I understood it to explain a patient experience from a sociological perspective, and my professor encouraged me to expand upon the concept.

*brainrot is a self aware linguistic pattern which recognizes that overstimulation and abundance of low quality content creates a pattern of needing more simple, interesting breakdowns of difficult content.
