Sure, some countries do it better than others, but it would be pretty hard to find a healthcare system without any flaws. Whether it's piles of administrative work for doctors, or long hours in the waiting room for patients, there’s bound to be problems.

So, we put together a list of memes capturing the weird, stressful, and even hilarious aspects of life in and around hospitals. After all, laughter is the best medicine (which is easy to say when you have antibiotics).

    You only get the X-ray once. Doctors do it all day long and it has a cumulative effect, which is why they hide while performing it (and wear those badges that measure radiation exposure).

    Not quite. 40% for the US, 30% for the UK, and the outcomes are better in the UK. Life expectancy in the UK is 81; in the US it's 78.
