I think I realized how severely humor infects all spaces when I witnessed two of my coworkers at the neuro clinic I’m interning at laughing at putting in a patient as deceased
#It wasn’t because the patient was dead it was because of an error the system did or something#But even joking about it in that context is fucking weird to me#I thought death would be the only thing humor couldn’t touch#Especially in the context of FTD which is a very aggressive dementia#I don’t think they’re bad people but I do think they’re weird as fuck for that#And if it were me I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I made that kind of joke#I don’t mean to be a buzzkill but I have my limits and wtf was that#I didn’t say anything I just pretended to be engrossed in my paperwork#The neurologist I’m shadowing wasn’t present#And while I do think she’s a little too robotic when dealing w patients I don’t think she’d have been in on that joke#Just odd idk the us healthcare system already has issues but I think a big one I’m starting to see is#How desensitized the healthcare workers get#Where’s your heart#I love medicine for the humanism of it I don’t wanna become like this one day#I know some people are gonna tell me it’s Just Two Coworkers Being Silly#But can’t they be silly about something else
