Today, a patient at the hospital where I work asked me if he and his son could light up a joint. He was on oxygen, and serious. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in front of a hospital, I noticed that an old lady was having trouble lighting her cigarette because she had Parkison's. So I went to help her to light it up and she then started chatting with me and told me she had lung cancer. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML
Today, I had to take my son to the ER after he badly messed up trying to light his farts on fire. FML
Today, I went to work at a chemotherapy clinic. After explaining to a patient about the risks and benefits of chemotherapy for his underlying metastatic lung cancer, he asks is it OK to smoke during chemotherapy. FML
Today, I walked in on my son holding a lighter to the end of a pen and sniffing the fumes. Apparently he thought it would get him high. FML
Today, once again I tried to convince my dad to stop smoking. And once again, while I was speaking, he lit up a cigarette and smoked until my asthma flared up and I was wheezing so hard that I had to leave the room. FML
Today, I got a call from my brother, saying he was losing his mind at work and did not feel well. I went to pick him up. Turns out he decided to try weed for the first time at work and was high AF. Now I'm the little brother babysitting a 35 year-old man child. FML
Today, my dad hit his mid-life crisis. When I came home and said hi, he told me to shut up, then went to the living room. He then lit up a cigarette and started muttering about having to put up with me, then went into a coughing fit, because he's never smoked before in his life. FML
Today, after three weeks of calling the office and telling them how much she needed it, my mom's doctor finally agreed to give her an oxygen tank. She died last night. FML
Today, my doctor told me my asthma was being triggered by my dad's smoking. He wrote a note to my dad, asking him to refrain from smoking while around me. My dad took one look at the note, then threw it in the trash, saying the doctor "doesn't know what he's talking about." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully he's not dumb enough to smoke it while breathing the oxygen!

Marijuana isn't the problem, his choice in how he's taking it is the problem. You can drink it in tea and it's waaaay less harmless for someone especially in his situation than it would be to smoke it.

Just be glad they asked before they lit the entire place up

A lot of cigarette smokers on oxygen because of lung disease blow or burn themselves up -- usually at home.

I'm still amazed my grandma didn't blow herself up doing that.

This is some 'Frank and Carl Gallagher' from 'Shameless' type of FML.

A vaporizer would be better than a joint -especially in his case

At least he's sharing with his son. Hahaha.

Why not? Just make him do it outside where no innocents can be harmed. Let nature take its course.
