Let's give three cheers to all the nurses who work tirelessly to deal with obnoxious, entitled patients, administer vaccines, and work stupidly long hours just to make sure that we're all healthy. We appreciate your grit and think you deserve some memes to look at while you enjoy a much-needed break.

Whether you're a doctor, nurse or dietitian, we know that these memes will relate to you and your stress-filled career. Just remember to take a little break from your busy day every once in a while - and what better way to do that than with memes?

If you're still trying to figure out how to carve your pumpkins this Halloween, let these pics give you a little bit of inspiration. Who knew doctors had such a sick and twisted sense of humor? Like, imagine walking into a hospital needing surgery and seeing this creepy sh*t. Nightmares galore.

Nursing has our vote for one of the most underappreciated professions out there. We applaud you for your constant hard work and dedication that literally keeps us alive. Without you, we'd probably be dead.

2020 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders tweeted out on Saturday asking followers about the most outrageous medical bills they've ever received. Let's just say, some of the replies are something else - like, the cost of purchasing a house. Reading through these makes us grateful that we've never dealt with anything of that scale, but it also makes us wonder why these costs are even necessary in the first place...

If you're unfamiliar with what anemia is then first of all, you're lucky, and second of all, it's a medical condition where a person lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. 

It can cause symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and feeling like you're constantly freezing. 

And of course, if you think you might be anemic, don't listen to us - go see a GD doctor! In the mean time, please enjoy these anemic memes!

Nurses have a thankless job that often goes underappreciated. 

But we see you and all that you do, so just know that someone out there appreciates your sleepless nights and willingness to deal with horrible patients. So have these memes that will hopefully at least make you laugh and forget about the pain for a few minutes!

Some people on this planet are so incredibly stupid that it makes your jaw drop to the floor. And unfortunately it often almost seems completely impossible to try to instill any knowledge onto these people - like this lady in particular, who obviously isn't going to change her mind on vaccines any time soon. The only thing we can do is offer her thoughts and prayers, or...something.

In the midst of these very preventable disease outbreaks, it seems like these insane anti-vaxxers just will not stop, will they? Sneaking behind your parents' backs isn't always the right thing to do, but we have to say that this high school freshman definitely made the correct decision to go behind her insane anti-vax mother's back and get the necessary vaccines for school. 

Seriously though, when the hell will this insanity end?

We all know that old trope that toothpaste advertisements use. You know, the one about nine out of ten dentists recommending a specified brand? Honestly it's so played out by this point that we're not sure how it's still used in marketing, but at the same time we're here for it because we love the stupid memes that come out of it!

We sincerely hoped that we'd never have to remind you the importance of getting vaccinated, but here we are. Washington state declared a state of emergency yesterday in light of 35 recently confirmed cases of measles, a highly infectious disease that can be fatal in young children - and easily prevented with the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine. News reports cite anti-vaxx communities as a major catalyst in the spread of the disease. 

While most of us are high-key freaking out about the epidemic, many anti-vaxxers are remaining calm about the ordeal, claiming that refusal to get the vaccine can improve their child's immune system. We hope we don't need to explain why this logic is completely insane, but for anyone in your life who does in fact need a little refresher on the importance of vaccines, be sure to direct them toward this educational comic!

Whether you're a medical professional or solely on the receiving side of healthcare and sickness, we guarantee you'll find some relatable content in this selection of memes and tweets. And we hope you enjoy them - laughter is supposedly the very best medicine. 

The life-saving possibilities of modern medicine are incredible to be sure - and so are the emotions that come with the miracles. These tweets detailing medical sagas are sad, happy, and sappy, all rolled into one.

Some of these medical memes are too damn real. Why the hell, after schlepping my hurtin' butt to the emergency room, do the doctors neglect to examine me? It's straight to the CT scan and then a diagnosis with little to no explanation. All horror stories aside, we do have a ton of respect for medical professionals. Even if they play cards during their down time.
