After a day of taking care of a 500 pound patient with diabetic ketoacidosis, my roommate the RN, was near comatose herself. This 30 year old, with a 7 week old baby, had blood sugars in the 700s and his family was feeling responsible that they had "genetically passed on diabetes."
Jaw Drop.
Really people? Are you trying to be funny? I don't think they get the big picture here...but I thought I'd lighten up my cynical posts with some of my own punch lines. And by "my own" I really mean an internet search of food jokes. So here goes:
Why did the tortilla chips start dancing?
They put on the salsa!
You've got to be smiling after that one. I know you weren't expecting that at all. Ok here's another...
"Waiter, this food tastes kind of funny"
"Then why aren't you laughing?"
(You better be laughing at that one)
The site I found some of these jokes on was called Jokes for Kids. I just don't know if any kids would find this one funny...
Why don't they serve chocolate in prison?
Because it makes you break out!
Oh boy. Ok, I'm done.
I just wish there was something more funny to 500 pounds diabetic ketoacidosis. But there's not. It's seriously fatal. And apparently it's not funny or socially appropriate to talk about weight. My roommate set the family straight by saying his weight was unhealthy and the result of this problem-not genetics. So when does the "heaviness" of the problem weigh down on our nation? Maybe we should start enjoying more escargot.
Why do the French like snails?
Because they don't like fast food!!
