Today, I was in the hospital with rib injuries after being rear-ended by a truck. The doc said, "Well, you'll probably feel like you've been hit by a truck for a while." Everyone laughed, except me. When I said he was being insensitive, he replied, "Calm down, I'm just ribbing you." FML

I love this doctor!

Doctors see more death every day than any person should and still manage to get up in the morning. They have to learn to laugh a little.

YLS for not having a sense of humor...

I don't quite understand all the YDI's. There is a time where joking is appropriate and a time it isn't. In a professional setting, it likely isn't the time. I do understand the doctor trying to lighten the mood, but when the patient expresses discomfort in the humor, that's where the doc should've drawn the line. Hope you healed speedily, OP.

Yeah, but OP can take a joke, I hope. Because he was just trying to cheer the person up, which I would love.

I dunno about you guys but that would piss me off.

dang tbh horrid pub

Why does this have so many YDIs? I probably would have laughed with the doc, but I can understand why OP was a bit upset. I give it an FYL

Did you have doctor house?:p
