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.
Well, there are acute and life-threatening dermatological diseases too.Steven Johnson syndrome is one of them.
Yes. But I didn't know until the morning when I woke up.
Another reason not to become a doctor. I enjoy learning, but I enjoy my family more.
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.
This image makes sense to me. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and trying to control my blood sugar (BS) is much more of an art than a science. I only eat low glycemic index and low glycemic load foods. It's still a daily fight. The main things that affect my BS are: portion size, of course; amount of sleep; stress, both good and bad; time of day, regardless of meal time, and hydration. I wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that measures BS every 5 minutes. The only thing I've found is that drinking 3 cups of water (24oz) usually stops spikes and may or may not bring the BS down. Without this CGM, I'd have no chance of control.
Chart comment by a hospital corpsman on patient with severe constipation: Needs a long fingered corpsman.
Question my doctor asked me after looking at my first EKG: Who's your cardiologist? Me: Huh? True story.
