Overheard

I get in the hospital elevator with a 30-ish woman who's talking to someone on her cell phone. I hear:

"No, seriously, Sue, all the doctors here are idiots. Nurses, too. I mean, they tell me stuff about Mom's condition and tests and stuff, and I google it, and it always says the opposite of what they're saying. This place is a deathtrap. I'm trying to get her transferred somewhere else, where people know what they're doing."

To think all those doctors spent 4 years in medical school and then the years of internship and residency for nothing. Those nurses who spent all that time in nursing programs just to learn how to change beds and bedpans. Butt Google is the real authority on medical care. Yea right.

Never, ever talk about anything other than Diet Coke or directly related subjects in a hospital lift/elevator.

jimbo26, the MD stands for mental deficient in Dr. Google's case.

Google has a hospital?

Actually,Dr. Google DID save my son's life. The real doctor thought he had an ear infection, Dr. Google thought he had bacterial meningitis. The real doctor was very wrong, Dr. Google was very right and because of Dr. Google, my son is alive and well today. However, that is an exception...that doctor was incompetent and I believe is no longer a doctor.

"Now I just need to decide between the hospitals recommended by Yelp and TripAdvisor."

"And the treatments they suggest are nothing at all like what comes up when you type the symptoms into the search box on Pornhub."
