A man went to see his doctor because he was not feeling well. He was deeply concerned about the functioning of various organs of his body. He was sure that there was something seriously wrong, possibly some strange illness that would be hard to cure.

...His wise medical friend studied him for a while, asked him a number of questions and then told him that he was afflicted with "egoitis"...a special term for "self-centeredness"' or just too much "I" in his system. He was thinking too much about himself ...the clothes he wore, the food he must eat to pamper his delicate tastes, and wondering what people thought of him.
