As a healthcare worker I hear this joke a lot and I just don’t care for it. It’s insensitive, unprofessional and rude. Yes we all get that “it’s just a joke, bro” but making light of vulnerable patients getting hurt is rotten behavior.

    This is the answer.

    Levity can be a great tool for not being dramatically serious about everything such that encounters regarding safety engagement are less confrontational than they otherwise would be.

    This, btw, is exemplary of the PNW low level anxiety stuff I refer to when referencing the increased hum anxiety draped over the region as a whole.

    I’m not labelling it as good or bad. Just acknowledging that it exists.

    OP is right, but so are you and I. Context and individuals involved matter.
