Today, I went for my follow-up appointment with my surgeon. He walked into the room and said, "I thought you died." FML
I agree, your life sucks 31 383
You deserved it 1 973

Missusluv313 tells us more.

Hello everyone! Yes, he was joking. I just didn't find that shit funny. And he actually is a good doctor. But to make up for it, he gave me extra time off from work. I don't think he would do that to/for everybody, but I work at that hospital.

I'd like more info as to why he thought you died. XD

Well, Congratulations on not dying!! :)

Everyone's reaming out the surgeon, but you have to understand that when you deal with sick, injured, and dying people as your day job, you tend to develop a rather dark and detached sense of humor as a coping mechanism. The surgeon probably didn't realize how hurtful the joke was to a layman. Still a FYL, but I don't see the surgeon as the unequivocal bad guy here.
