Idiots on vacation
Dr. Grumpy: "How was your trip to South America?"
Mrs. Insensitive Tourist: "It was fine. But Chile was a dump. That earthquake was what, a month or two ago? You'd think they could have the place cleaned up and fixed by now."
Those earthquakes can be a bitch, and oh so unsightly to tourists' eyes...
On a tangential issue: You are a doctor, but also human. Do you sometimes find it hard to empathize with certain patients because you simply dislike them. I would have a hard time feeling sympathy for someone I would feel contempt for. Must be hard sometimes, I wonder.
Right. Seriously. I mean they expect us to spend our tourist dollars on them and they can't even clean up the death and destruction first? What did you say in response to that?
Wow. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteYes... New Orleans is a glittering example of a swift recovery from a natural disaster... *sighs*
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tanya. Looks like someone forgot all about Katrina.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mrs. Tourist forgot to say she was coming?

The sad thing is that even before the earthquake Chile was a dump!
ReplyDeleteSuch compassion
ReplyDeleteAnd New Orleans and the rest of Louisianna was first in my head too

ERP- I ignore and move on to the medical questions. It's better that way.
ReplyDelete"Dear Patient - You do need a little brain clean-up. I'll see what I can do."
ReplyDeleteReadheadedPharm: You are the typical ignorant.
ReplyDeletereadheadedPharm: you are such a jerk
