Don’t let old people ruin your holiday. Come to the ER for the "YaYa Yeet" (alternately known as the Pop Drop), an annual event where you can abandon your elderly relative and troubles with us!
Try being hearing impaired, but wearing top of the line hearing aids ($8000). Ask a doctor to repeat what he said in his thick Middle Eastern accent, explaining how slowing down would help me understand. Sit patiently to the deeply condescending response presented to the deaf village idiot who is contributing to paying off his Tesla.
Thanks for sharing your pain about Jake surgery. Sharing the pain dissipates the agony. Take care, my dear one.
Thank you, Lynn. I recommend speaking back loudly and slowly and as condescendingly as you can. Perhaps patting him on the head as your leave your appointment. Go full schoolteacher ;)

Did I work that shift with you?
hahah no
As a former ER RN I can confirm that this is 100% dead on. Best snark I’ve ever read about the ER! Bravo and thank you for your continued hard work!
Thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoyed it.
Along with the Anthropocene, our period of history will be known as the generation that could but wouldn't take care of its elderly. Sad.
yup
Wow. I didn’t know people do this. Terrible.
Oh yeah, and it’s not just in the USA. I’ve confirmation from my international colleagues that it happens everywhere! It’s sad
Oh man, it's funny because it's so f-ing tragic. Signed, another ER doc
