About

Helth is an intentional misspelling of the word "health" which is often associated with a surreal meme featuring the character Meme Man in a doctor's lab coat standing in front of a picture representing a health monitor. The image is an edited variation of Stonks that is used as a reaction image to joke about making poor health decisions.
