As a healthcare worker I hear this joke a lot and I just don’t care for it. It’s insensitive, unprofessional and rude. Yes we all get that “it’s just a joke, bro” but making light of vulnerable patients getting hurt is rotten behavior.

    I can see why you wouldn’t like that, it is unprofessional to be saying it to the patients. I could see telling them to be careful because they don’t want to end up staying in the hospital longer but the paperwork thing should really only be said to employees.

      They commented on my comment as well and it seems to do with their field of work. They provided a decent explanation
