Pandering gone wrong

Yesterday I saw a patient who wanted sleeping pills.  The patient already had a prescription for sleeping pills. I asked if they worked.

The patient answered, "I don't want to take them everyday."

FML

That's how pills work.  You have to take them.  If you don't, they won't work.  I can't write a prescription for a pill that will work if you refuse to take it.

Then the patient want to talk about an over the counter eye drop, " I can't take these with aspirin."


"Do you take aspirin?" I asked.

"No."

"Then what are we talking about?"

"I don't know."

FML x 2

The patient's chart list aspirin as an allergy.  The patient can't take anything with aspirin because they can't take aspirin period. 

FML x 3

So if you're ever in a lobby complaining about the wait time to seen because you're sick or injured; this is why.

This "float" made it's depute and it wasn't really this high flying masterpiece. It was about 15 feet tall and only flew as high as the people holding it could reach their arm up. It got people talking, but didn't live up to the hype.

I believe this meme format was originally a left wing meme, but was quickly highjacked by right wingers.

London's murder rate beat out New York for the first time ever last year and has been trending that way since. Guns are banned in the UK, but knife crime is super high despite often mocked (by right wingers at least) knife ban. Rape has also dramatically increased in London as of late as well. But the gun issues is secondary for this meme. Brits aren't exactly becoming more violent toward each other. Muslim refugees are largely responsible for the violent crime increases (this is the argument of the meme - not saying it's mine). Hence, it becomes a right wing meme.

My enjoyment with this meme isn't the fact that it's a right wing point, but rather the depth behind how much goes into a single random meme. That's true for much of what I post even if 90% are pro-Trump or right leaning on the surface. 

Wow.

I have to admit, there is a rather dilapidated trailer park around here that has more than zero TRUMP signs proudly displayed.  Thems the breaks...only the super rich know how to rule us.  For this we left England's unrepresentative monarchy?  I scoff at this!

To be fair, that's all politicians and it's becoming the majority of all constituents.
