nurses

As we all know, medical doctors, nurses and pretty much every kind of healthcare professional out there have had a stressful 15 months of pandemic to deal with on top of normal day-to-day illnesses and accidents. The average healthcare worker doesn't get nearly enough sleep, but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy a relatable meme or two in between crises. Whether you're an anxious 4th year med student, or an overworked nurse working a graveyard shift, may these medical memes provide a bit of humorous distraction. You deserve it. 

Let's just take a moment to salute our nurses and medical workers. You all are genuine heroes working tirelessly every day to save our lives, while putting your own lives at risk. We hope these memes will serve as the tiniest bit of appreciation for your hard work.

Despite the fact that COVID-19 has been around since November, many countries (and people) are still figuring out how to grapple with the outbreak as it worsens in countries like Italy and the United States. Unfortunately, hospitals stateside are already reeling from Coronavirus cases. Author Evan Siegfried took to Twitter last night with a chilling update from one of his friends who works at a New York City hospital. The nurse describes an alarming situation that's a combination of under-staffing, lack of supplies, and a serious need for blood. We sincerely hope that people stop hoarding medical supplies so that the professionals can take care of the people who really need help.

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. 

Being a doctor is often looked at as a fancy, glamorous position. After years of school (and debt) many doctors feel their career choice has started to pay off. The reality, according to these stories, proves that medical professionals REALLY deserve the big bucks - and that people really need to stop sticking random objects into their buttholes.

If you didn't already have a ton of respect for nurses, you will now.

Nurses have tough jobs and their dedication to patient wellness is something that we applaud. So here's a little something that you hard working individuals will enjoy.
