Overheard In The ER

Mother, angrily to her son who had promptly been discharged with zero tests or meds after checking in for "feeling weird" s/p smoking marijuana- "I TOLD YOU we should have taken the amb-a-lance! They take you more serious and they run more tests when you come in the amb-a-lance! This shit is ridiculous! Let's go home!"

    I think your ER just sent us another 'My baby is O/Ding on Marijuana' call. Those are always worth a few laughs.

    Because "feeling weird" after taking drugs is always a serious symptom that requires massive amounts of sophisticated tests.

    Pardon the self-linking, but, seriously, you should have sent them to my ER:

    Next time we shall call the amb-a-lance to transfer them to Montana! On another day, they probably would have gotten a similarly stupid ass workup (sans MRI, that is some serious fuckery) , but luckily we had a real doctor there who routinely discharges patients like this by going into the room and saying "If you didn't want to feel weird, why did you do drugs in the first place?".

    LMAO! I thought you were going to say something like the mother told the son, "I told you we shouldn't have bought that weed!" Seriously, this is funny! I am a new follower.
