I Know First Aid And Last Rites
England, London, Office, UK | Healthy | December 20, 2017
(I’m a shift supervisor on break with someone, tending to a swollen ankle.)
Colleague: “You’re a doctor, though, aren’t you [My Name]?”
Me: “I wouldn’t be here if I was; I’m a first aider.”
Colleague: “Which means you know medical stuff right?”
Me: *deadpan* “It means I know enough that a patient has a higher chance of staying alive until paramedics arrive.”
Colleague: “Whoa, that’s rather…”
Me: “Cynical?”
Colleague: “…yeah.”
