Anyone who’s worked in healthcare will tell you you need to dial way back on how intelligent you imagine the general population is.
So true - but also applies to the hcps!

Told on here before, Young Male patient with diabetes, admitted due to poor control and nobody could seemingly figure out why his sugars were all over the shop!
He’d been advised on dietary management and religiously kept a food diary which didn’t show anything alarming...
I was a student at the time and it was me an another newly qualified nurse worked out what was happening
His mother kept giving him lucozade and they were both adamant it wasn’t that cos “it’s a health drink!”
Now yes they were numpties! But it hasn’t occurred to any of around a dozen hcps to notice that his stringent “food diary” didn’t note any drinks! They assumed he was only drinking water, but to be honest they should have queried even the lack of record of that as how much he was drinking even if only water would have had an effect too.
Heart sinking here at the thought of that wasted vienetta!
Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that the type of Americans that think electricity doesn't exist outside the US are the same type of people in the UK that think Africa (the country) is all poverty , famine and mud huts?
Yep!
As a Scot I’ve been asked multiple times if we have electricity, internet etc...by other Brits! A friend of the family is originally from an African country, a wealthy, developed country. He has over the decades he’s lived in the Uk become unfortunately rather used to even now people disbelieving that his family live in a city and there’s internet and everything! 🙄 quite recently someone apparently commented to him their surprise that they had their own tv stations!
Given that the messages are electrical impulses, maybe it's little emails being sent? Or a "the body" Whatsapp group where all the organs post stuff. The brain is also kind of capable of "muting notifications", isn't it?
Omg! This reminds me of a cartoon I used to love, think it was in the beano or dandy where the premise was there were little anthropomorphic beings inside your brain that “ran” your body! Can anyone tell me what it was called?!
I’d be so happy to be reminded!
”Why did they built so close to the freeway?" Tourist outside 14th century castle in Switzerland.
Yep! I used to live in an historic town, loads of tourists making comments like “why aren’t the roads wide enough for 2 cars?” (Roads and buildings that very much pre-date the invention of the cart let alone cars!) “they need to make the church bells quieter that could give you a headache”, “why isn’t the town hall in the centre of the town?” (As the town has evolved the “centre” has “moved” for various reasons eg geography limiting what building is possible in certain areas), “they should put central heating in its too cold” in hotels etc which are listed buildings or otherwise can’t be adapted as wouldn’t survive the structural change.
I can top you lot. The most ridiculously stupidest thing I’ve seen is a ‘friend’ on FB posting “Well done Boris you’re doing a fantastic job” we have a winner!
