Me: “Why are you here today, sir?”
👴: “I feel like I’m dying!! It’s awful! Please help me.”
…(has a cold)
Me: “Why are you in the hospital today, ma’am?”
👵: “Well young man last night I had an awful spill and suffered a complex fracture. I put some ice on my leg and went to sleep. However, when I woke up my ankle was really swollen and it seemed like I should get it checked out.”
…(skin seems to be the only thing keeping the foot attached to her leg)
Women are way, way tougher than men.
I mean women literally grow humans and give birth. Some of the wildest stuff,
And give them tablet with bad brainrot like Cocomelon and Mr Beast
Men are tougher and smarter than females.
in my ER today (pretty typical day) I had 4 men:
MI & CKD (admit)
Catatonic schizo (boarder)
Chainsaw to hand (stitches, home)
warts, "am i treating this right?"🤦🏻♂️(home)
I had 9 women:
1st day of flu syx (home)
"I'm hurting" fibromyalgia (home)
"I'm huring" CT proven enteritis (home)
diarrhea x 2 days (home)
"not myself" ... cold? (home)
ear pain s/p uri (home)
anxiety attack (home)
abd pain (choly, admit)
tongue pain, candida (home)
None of these women had done anything to treat themselves. ANYTHING. The men all had tried something, except my psych boarder.
My region's M:F is >>>4:9. So not only are men tougher, they're smarter and healthier.
See, I can make assinine anecdotal conclusions too.
Wait, wait, wait, wait…wait just a second here. You saw 13 patients on your shift? Like the whole shift? Are you hiring? 😆
tiny rural ed. 8 hrs came in to cover
is my guess lol
or total garbage
those rural bros see some shit tho and when someone shows up in bad shape that’s a weird feeling being in the middle of nowhere without backup and limited resources
