JFC Man the **** up people

[Hauldren Collider]

I don't think Reg is asking for sympathy, JR. But I'm really sorry about your friend. Condolences.

[regexcellent]

I put rubbing alcohol and a bandage on it is that good enough?

I'm in the ER on my father's orders but I'm about to just say **** it.

There should be congestion pricing--$50 up front to skip the line. How the **** does this take 2 hours.

[Captain ******* Kirk]

How could this happen? You are young and invulnerable!

A friend of mine died yesterday, 53 years old, sudden and unexpected. So forgive me if I'm a little short on f*cks to give.

All of us lost Paul Walker this week, but you don't see us ****ting all over your problems...

You don't get to say "man the **** up" to anyone while daddy is bossing you around. Sorry.

Okay so I went home because there were 5 people ahead of me and doing the math, the rate at which they were clearing patients (maybe one every thirty minutes, probably worse than that) and the rate at which they were accumulating patients led me to conclude that the only way the hospital is avoiding having its backlog grow without bound is by having people get so frustrated with waiting that they leave.

My foot still hurts like **** but gargling motrin will hopefully solve that. Honestly that's probably what they would tell me to do anyway.

Anywho I learned something important today: if they ask you at the ER what your level of pain is between 1 and 10, never think in perspective and say "3." The people who were clearly uh, regulars there were being melodramatic and exclaiming about how they were 10 seconds from death or whatever and they got seen sooner even though it was obvious that they weren't in any serious trouble.

If I waited any longer I wouldn't have time to do this database theory homework so there's that. My foot will be fine enough, this is worth 5% of my grade, like hell am I skipping it.

YOU DON'T CONSIDER SELLULITIS TO BE A FACTUAL DANGER?

I had cellulitis a couple of months ago. That was fun.

I grew an angry magenta scrotum on my elbow. It was sex weeks before I could do Missionary.

[The Mad Monk]

It's called triage, son. That's why both you and Ms. Bellyache are waiting--there is no chance either of you are actually in any actual factual danger.

...that's assuming he actually got treated, right?

Incidentally I didn't, and clearly wasn't going to before maybe 7 in the morning since there were still 5 people ahead of me after 2.5 hours.

[Ban Kenobi]

What were you sharpening a knife for?

[kentonio]

(self inflicted, don't feel sorry for me please)

Have you ever actually been to Poly before?

[The Mad Monk]

I know you didn't. Helloooo gangrene!

Because they prioritise genuine emergencies over minor cuts. DURR

[MikeH]

The people waiting in an ER waiting room get bumped by emergencies coming in by ambulance. They treat you minor ailments guys when they have time. Correctly.

[The Mad Monk]

That really depends on how deep this "puncture wound" went. It's safe to assume the knife wasn't sterile.
