I’m Probably Fine: A Funny Novel About Medical Panic, False Alarms, and One Man’s Fight Against His Search History

He’s had every disease. Mostly by imagination.

Arthur Bell has been at death’s door since childhood — at least according to Arthur Bell.

A suspicious freckle. A gym-class side stitch. A mysterious ache at 2:13 a.m. For Artie, every symptom is a headline, every headache is a medical event, and every late-night internet search ends in certain doom.

After a lifetime of false alarms, awkward doctor visits, suspicious moles, pharmacy loyalty points, and one deeply emotional relationship with WebMD, Artie begins documenting his medical catastrophes in a private blog called Probably Dying.

Private, unfortunately, does not stay private.

When the blog unexpectedly becomes a public sensation, Artie finds himself comforting thousands of equally anxious strangers while trying to survive marriage, middle age, modern medicine, and his own imagination.

Warm, witty, and laugh-out-loud relatable, I’m Probably Fine is a comic novel about health anxiety, family patience, false alarms, and the peculiar joy of discovering that being alive is messy, ridiculous, and almost certainly not fatal.

Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven humor, comic family fiction, medical mishaps, anxious overthinking, and stories about ordinary people surviving their own worst-case scenarios.
