I think the only thing that surprises me anymore about ER ridiculousness is that I'm still surprised by it. Like, seriously. I've been doing this for NINE years! HOW am I still shocked that people are so ridiculous?

Case in point, last week:

Young Dude, with a mild viral illness: I don't have anything for fever. Can I get a prescription for tylenol so I don't have to pay for it?

Me: No, tylenol doesn't require a prescription. If you get the store brand acetaminophen, it's like two or three dollars a bottle.

YD: How the fuck do you know if I can pay for that or not?

Me: Uh, you have an iPhone X in your hand?

YD: Fuck you, lady, I'm outta here. If I get a fever again, I'll just come back here for more tylenol.

End scene.
