Are they serious, who wouldn't laugh, I would...

The necessity to find humor in your working environment is a defense against the horror, tragedy, of whatever they come up against and exposed to.

Cops laugh at scenes, insurance adjusters laugh at circumstances presented in claims, Judges laugh at litigants (all from my personal experience at work, and before a judge as an injured person in a complex workers comp, third party subrogation case (the judge found it ironic that I brought the 3 warring attorneys together, including my own, unfortunately, and we walked out of the conference with a settlement. The judge had come out to tell me no settlement was possible, and I thought it was, sooo I asked some questions...) Yay for a closed case.

Anywho, I seem to recall reading of a few lawsuits of drowsy apparently partially anesthetized patients hearing doctors laugh. They should wait till the patient is out to avoid sensibilities, but it's a natural human reaction.

He said his client was too drunk to remember how the body spray canister ended up in his body.

I know how.....


SEXUAL DEVIANCY!

[Wheem]

Add this whole scenario as one more reason I don't drink

On a more serious note, taking a "closeup cell phone picture" (gross) and putting the video on youtube was certainly crossing the line.

Beat me to it......

Either way, it's a non-issue. Anyone who thinks that Doctors, Cops, paramedics or any other people with professions that include saving others live or die on whether or not every single person under their care or protection makes it is living in a fantasy world.

If you have to go to casualty because you have a can stuck up your arse, you deserve to be put on Youtube.
