Healthcare workers are a different breed entirely. They spend years grinding through medical school just to be able to do their job, then turn around and work brutally long hours with the weight of people’s lives on their shoulders. And if that weren’t enough, the things they hear from patients on a daily basis can be equal parts draining and downright insulting. Somebody give these folks a break.

Well, at the very least, give them a few minutes to sit back and scroll through some of the funny posts we’ve collected from the Instagram pages Internal Memecine and Medi Memes. Hopefully they’ll put a smile on a few tired faces out there—because after everything the medical field demands of them, they’ve more than earned it. Find them below.

    I have no idea why anyone would choose to become a doctor with being on call, lawsuits, constantly making life and d***h decisions hoping you're right, the guilt when you missed something, the sacrified time away from family, the time it takes to decompress - unless you're built to handle all this.

    Have a BS in Biochem. It was fun to learn. Only worked in labs in college, but it was great general knowledge for later careers.

    My guess is that the road after becoming a doctor is on the rough side, too. Just a thought - maybe the road to becoming a doctor helps with the hardships after.
