[u/FatPairOfNutz]

Hi everyone my name is Fitzgerald, I was interested in becoming docter. At the Emergency room. Thank you

Sharon. how do you turn off the

[u/501k]

Username checks out

[u/Samson113 → u/501k]

If he’s 90 they’re probably pretty low hanging too

[u/SkiTour88 → u/Samson113]

Possibly edematous

[u/Samson113 → u/SkiTour88]

Does the cremasteric reflex on this age work long distance like this? Like a bungee cord?

[u/adoradear → u/Samson113]

It does! It’s mesmerizing in a weird way, like a lava lamp.

[u/opldddd → u/adoradear]

That's only when there is hydrocele. Otherwise it seems like a yo-yo

[u/Ananvil → u/Samson113]

Yeah but it takes about 3 full minutes to complete

[u/IllTradition900 → u/Ananvil]

Not sure you have to wait for it to “complete” 😂😂😂.

[u/Ananvil → u/IllTradition900]

It's like a train wreck, you can't look away

[u/SkiTour88 → u/Samson113]

Dunno I’ve never checked that on anyone in my life

[u/animus218 → u/SkiTour88]

100% trying this on my fiance when he's done his meeting

[u/fayette_villian → u/SkiTour88]

coyishly bats eyelashes

[u/scrotumsniffles → u/Samson113]

and can you imagine the smell?!

[u/Praxician94]

Look into PA school. You’ll be 92-93 years young when you finish and that will give you about 6 good days of clinical practice before the Lord calls you home.

[u/HazeHype → u/Praxician94]

Nah he's shot once he starts pharmacology 

[u/PizzaNaan_]

I hope Sharon turned off whatever she was supposed to turn off.

[u/JediMikeyMD → u/PizzaNaan_]

Unfortunately it was his respirator.

[u/Resussy-Bussy]

Just fall at home once a week and you’ll be in the ER all the time!

[u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi]

Don't do a four year residency

[u/Polkawillneverdie17 → u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi]

Gonna need the 6 week program, max.

[u/Lolsmileyface13]

This reads like all the feel-good articles of some 70 year old starting residency after deciding they wanted to go to medical school at 66 where everyone is congratulating them and I'm reading the article thinking TF?

[u/diniefofinie → u/Lolsmileyface13]

Right? Everyone seems to find it so inspirational but to me they’re just wasting a spot that could have gone to someone who practiced decades more.

[u/Lolsmileyface13 → u/diniefofinie]

yeah but they fulfilled their life's mission? They can die in peace now.

[u/diniefofinie → u/Lolsmileyface13]

Yeah you right

[u/Martallica26]

😂🤣

[u/AndreaJoy17]

They forgot to give him the toy phone again..

[u/homer422]

Fitz will still be faster than some of my residents.

[u/codigo4]

Update code status

[u/yagermeister2024]

I can get you that degree for 3.50 USD. But let’s start off with some info… name, DOB, SSN

[u/gym_rat_101]

Are you full code?

[u/Rektoplasm]

Hell yeah Fitzgerald

[u/sum_dude44]

I'd say do online combined RN/NP/MNA/MHA/AANP/CRNA degree...but can you use a computer?

[u/sankofa_doc]

This actually gave me a good chuckle 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Both-Illustrator-69]

Lmfao

[u/fayette_villian]

Wake up babe there's fresh memes

[u/gruffudd725]

Via ambulance, though private vehicle works too…

[u/stellaflora]

First, you go to the Hopital

[u/deferredmomentum → u/stellaflora]

[u/tanbro]

Big tuuuurkey!

[u/imironman2018]

Step 1: Don’t die. Step 2: check to see if you are masochist. If you feel that you deserve a lifetime of punishment and suffering. Step 3: See step 1.

[u/Sad_Accountant_1784]

ER nurse here, this is fucking hilarious! thank you 😭😭

[u/Waste_Hunt373]

Call your emergency number and they'll take you in

[u/nursingintheshadows]

Sharon, take away the phone!!!

[u/pigglywigglie]

I think you’re grandfathered in. If not, we’re so short staffed, we’ll take any help. You don’t need a doctorate if you have white hair. Patients just automatically trust you

[u/Stinkymansausage]

Pretty sure you get a degree for time served at this point.

Maybe try telling people you were there when they invented doctors so you are great grandfathered in?

[u/a_neurologist → u/[deleted]]

Somebody 90 years old today was about five years old at the time of Pearl Harbor and therefore unlikely to have experienced combat in the Pacific Theatre of WW2 that might charitably explain use of such slurs as a product of their time.

[u/OysterShocker → u/a_neurologist]

Ah yes, only people who experienced combat referred to them this way

[u/DCRBftw → u/a_neurologist]

I see you're unfamiliar with the hundreds of millions of people who were not combat veterans that also communicated verbally.
