It’s Friday today

Yes but you’ll need to intercept the HDMI cable with a beefy microcontroller to turn it back on when displaying patient data again so you don’t get fired. At this point, I’d be looking to disable the corresponding software if the computer is accessible.

Copyright 1968. Hmm, determined or not, that cat must be long dead.

Cat’s got the look like, “This is the 75th fucking take, Jerry, for fuck’s sake, how many more is it gonna goddamn take?!

Here in Brazil, some time ago, people started to say “gratitude” instead of “thank you”. Annoying as fuck

Let’s turn that frown upsidedown.

I guarantee you the people who actually work at the hospital hate them as much as the patients, if not moreso.

These were put in place by a hospital administration that gets paid way more than the doctors to waste time doing exactly stuff like this, while claiming they deserve to be paid so much more because of how much value their leadership brings the hospital.

(and perhaps suggest some alternatives).

But i don’t think they’ll want this tv up their ass

Or to make the patients treat the staff better.

I didn’t even consider how many people with cardiac issues must be looking at that screen.

I mean if I have one I’ll bet grateful if it kills me, but then again I take seven pills a day to stop myself from dramatically accelerating the process.

this would unironically make me feel like I succeeded

Unless you were struck by lightning whilst dancing in the rain, in which case this motivational image does not constitute legal, medical, or financial advice. Dance in the rain at your own risk.

I can’t imagine getting worked up about it either, but then the whole mildly infuriating deliberate oxymoron turn of phrase is that it’s something that should only really be a little annoying but which nonetheless is really quite annoying. It’s a type of silent frustration where you feel it, but you don’t really express it or visibly react.

In terms of what should they have put on these screens? If they felt they absolutely had to do this or really thought it might help make people’s situations feel even a modicum of improvement, then the glib messages could maybe have focussed on something other than gratitude as their common theme. It hardly seems like the appropriate time to bring that up. By their nature, any cheesy and overly broad phrase is probably going to have a sadly ironic and patronising tone to it in the circumstances but maybe something like “hang in there” or just about anything except what they went with has got to better.
