Rehab is not funny!

Okay, disclaimer here- I do NOT in ANY way find rehab to be a joke. These people have serious issues that need to be worked through. But I have noticed some of the funniest behavior at work. And sometimes those things need to be shared. I will NEVER share what a patient is using. I will NEVER share their names or info. I will NEVER share any sort of problems. Just some comedic points throughout the day.

So today there is this patient, she is the one who you roll your eyes when she walks through the door and think "not today." She walks in and looks at all the staff at the front counter (there were about three of us) and says "have any of you thought of getting a heart transplant?" She wasn't kidding. She was very very serious. I chose to stay out of that conversation and just listen in. One of the people back with us gets a very confused look on their face and says "what do you mean?" And she says back (again very seriously) "anyone can get one and I was wondering if any of you thought about it?" And then continues on back to her meeting with her counselor.

No. No unnecessary heart transplants for me.
