doctor

It sounds like this person's doctor friend was passing all kinds of judgement on a dude who was simply doing his very acceptable, if not commendable job as an engineer. And then when the doctor friend gets righteously called out they assume the defensive stance. There's just something about people that are acting wrong that get called out for their antics, that results in them pulling the very unreasonable victim card. 

Let this guy's harrowing tale about ignoring an unimaginably gnarly stomachache be a lesson to us all. If you have a stomachache, and the waves of pain have progressed to literal tidal waves of pain, then something is definitely not right. You might already know someone who has had to confront the unfortunate reality of having a ruptured appendix. The key with those occurrences is to be proactive in the response, and not let things escalate to a life-threatening extent. 

Anesthesia lets us do amazing life-saving surgeries on people all the time, but another one of its effects is that it creates some good stories. People say some funny stuff when they'e under anesthesia, and almost none of it makes any sense.

We love our collections of overheards here. Overheards are a great expression of all the crazy kinds of seemingly nonsensical things that we can overhear while out walking around this wild world. Sometimes, you can hear something and instantaneously recognize that no amount of context is going to provide clarity to that conversation. Peoples say some weird stuff. In this case, we have a quick and hilarious collection of things a wife's medical student husband was caught saying. 

Many of us suffer from some kind of self encouraged amnesia, involving our well being and various medications/supplements/etc that we use to maintain that well being. For whatever reason, the process of time crawling along invites in us a terribly self-destructive forgetfulness. In this particular, quick Tumblr thread we see a couple solid points made about the importance of Head and Shoulders shampoo/conditioner for the dry and itchy scalp, as well as the life saving role played by medications for anyone who has had a liver transplant. 

Oh man, this guy literally brought the walls in around his previous employer, until he'd basically starved him of hiring opportunities. This revenge seems cold and calculated, and like it wasn't rushed. Patience can absolutely pay off in the long run. 

Taking yourself down to destroy someone else is true dedication to the art of pro revenge. It doesn't get much more ruthless than this. Dr. Trash messed with the wrong human being. 

This one is partly on the patient and partly on the hospital. It's like that classic joke where a patient gets poked and prodded by random dude in a doctor's coat. Sometimes people's expectations and rudeness precede them, like this customer kept asking for a man, and he ended up in the legal department.

This guy was in for an MRI, and ended up breaking out in a hysterical fit of laughter when Ed Sheeran came on, in the background. Sounds like the doctor at the time was really thrown for a trip, and had no idea what could be going on. 

Faheem Younus, is the Chief Quality Officer and Chief of Infectious Diseases at University of Maryland (UCH). He shared a Twitter thread that aims to debunk 10 common myths surrounding the Coronavirus. Hopefully, folks catch wind of this information and work to spread it to others that might be caught up in the otherwise disorienting whirlwind of misinformation. If you're looking for more information about the Coronavirus, check the CDC for regular updates. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for pharmacists to share the dumbest things that they've seen people doing in response to the Coronavirus. Basically, people have shed their common sense and traded it for mindless superstition and general stupidity. Apparently, a lot of folks are subscribing to the belief that toilet paper can help them ward off the perils of the Coronavirus. Right on. 

Healthcare professionals see a lot. For whatever reason people try to trick doctors, nurses and technicians, whether it's an adult trying to scam the system, someone trying to score a prescription, a kid taking a lie too far or some general WTF-ness. Here are more times healthcare professionals saw right through lying patients.

You don't need to be a doctor, nurse or midwife to know where babies come from. That said, some people are way too old, and in some cases have too many kids, to not know the most basic information. How are people so bad at this. It's okay when kids ask hilarious questions in sex-ed because they're just learning, but this is too far. People have strange relationships with their doctors, going as far to deny really WTF stuff.

Twitter users are getting real creative and dark-humored in what they're coming up for, when it comes to the kinds of things you'll never hear said in a hospital. It's funny, we don't think about how fragile that atmosphere really is when it comes to how selective people should be with their words. 

Twitter users are sharing their most expensive experiences with getting healthcare in America. Some people might say it's the most backward thing about America.
