downside of working in healthcare (aside from all the other obvious downsides, of course) is that sometimes you will see a post on here talking about some fantastical story (usually written to be funny) that happened to someone in a healthcare setting and you're like... "yeah, no, that's not how that works, that's not how any of that works"

#edit to add: i'm not talking about ppl talking about negative interactions w/ providers or not being believed btw #i'm specifically talking about posts that take a normal ordinary healthcare story and then embellish it for comedy #these stories are always partially true btw #but in order to Appeal To Tumblr they add a bunch of fantastical elements that someone ACTUALLY in the field would know wouldn't happen #like oh boy you told your dentist you have bad reactions to certain anesthetic agents? and they listened! that's awesome!#but you also claim that in order to 'figure it out' they EXPERIMENTALLY INJECTED YOU WITH IT IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS??#fucking christ NO #literally would NOT happen #the more likely story was that you told them & they listened - then they explained why it might be happening bc of your autoimmune disorder #and then they tried something different #but i get it - it's way funnier to claim that your mad scientist dentist injected you with stuff you said you had adverse reactions to sure
