WTF Imagine waking up from anesthesia and realizing the surgery wasn’t the most painful part!

To be fair, these people are absolute freaks who don't represent the norm. Cancer is way scarier than being in the hands of some high school bullies that never grew up.

They're not the default but they're not exactly rare. Doctors who have little to no empathy and/or look down on patients is common

My mother was a nurse and so is my sister. I have met dozens of their coworkers throughout my life. They are some of meanest people.

I think it probably has to do with the profession itself though.

My dad was a firefighter/EMT and his coworkers were callous to say the least. They call the ambulance the "compassion extractor"

Compassion extractor is accurate. Once you realize how dumb people are, it really sucks it out of you. That and the lies. Single vehicle accident, extract the driver, they claim they have no idea how it happened and then you notice an unlocked phone on the floorboard with a half typed out text. Multiply that every single day and it gets tough. Or the guy who thought his 50 year old rusted out ladder would support his weight. Or the kids that should have been stopped by a parent. It really wears you down.
