It’s never as bad as you think it’ll be

I’m sorry Dr. House, I’ve failed you.

Hydro-chloro … thiazide?

What on earth is that?!

I should know, but I don’t.

Incompetence!

I prepared my best Piglet impression.

“What’s hydrochlorothiazide?”

…

Nothing but the sound of scalpels hitting the floor …

The scalpels were soon joined by the nurse’s body.

And then the doctor’s jaw.

And then my hopes and dreams.

…

The little girl in the waiting room burst into tears.

The cleaner quit his job in disgust.

And then the whispers started …

“He doesn’t know what hydrochlorothiazide is used for, what a LOSER!”

“This nerd can’t even nerd properly, what a NERD!”

I dropped to my knees …

And spontaneously burst into flames.

WORST. DAY. EVER.

…

Alright here’s what actually happened.

They told me to look it up in the database.

And I did.

Took about 2 minutes.

And everyone lived healthily ever after.

Your e-pal who did not burst into flames today (and never will despite what his brain sometimes tells him),

Hans
