This hospital had an ongoing food theft issue that got really out of hand. Why would someone steal food in a workplace environment? If someone lifts a meal from the work refrigerator once, you could chalk it up to a mistake. If it happens twice, it could be that someone was so hungry they couldn't wait to get food, or are just becoming more brazen about their theft. By the third time, this is a real issue---and it could even spawn copycats.

Karma was dramatic here

There's a special satisfaction that comes with finding a successful loophole to get around a silly workplace policy. Especially when it comes to getting paid fairly for all the work you do. Now, you know that nurses have to put up with a ton of nonsense on the job that makes saving lives more challenging than it already must be. However, this bureaucratic silliness sounds like way too much. This Redditor shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, which detai…

Surgery is expensive in America. Sometimes insurance covers a little bit here and there, but if they don't, you could be looking at a hefty bill with a couple commas in the total balance. That's why, when this teenaged girl was diagnosed with benign tumors in her breast, she wasn't jumping for joy like most people do when they find out they're cancer-free...

The doctor is not always right

Have you ever been to the doctor's office and heard something from your physician that made you wonder if they actually just said that? It could be poor bedside manner or an inappropriate remark. Perhaps they think of you as more of a friend than as a patient, which honestly is entirely on them. Sure, everyone has experienced moments of casual unprofessionalism, but we really don't want that from our physicians, right? We understand that even the nerdiest of doctors are, in fact, human, and the…

Fearing the dentist is a strange, but reasonable fear. Most people don't fear a check-up from a general care practitioner , so why is the dental check-up so fearsome? It really comes down to the fact that if you've let your teeth go, there's a pretty good chance that the dentist will want to put a drill inside your mouth. Obviously, they want to help you, but the idea of the equipment literally digging into your exposed bone gets a little scary. I find it best to just take good care of your tee…

I will survive!

Anyone who's urgently ordered an Uber while they're going into anaphylactic shock can attest that it's not an ideal situation to have to call an ambulance. For some, the ambulance is just too dang expensive and I certainly can't blame them! Unless you're hopping in an emergency vehicle that's covered by your insurance, it's possible that you'd be better off calling a Lyft.

It's difficult to imagine something more insidious, unreasonable, and unhelpful than American health insurance services. If you're an American, I don't need to remind you. For those of you who live anywhere else, it is so much worse than what you're assuming. In my experience, my first response to any illness or injury is to ignore it. That's an incredibly dystopian sentiment, but it's the unfortunate reality of this country. With all that said, don't expect any dealings with an insurance compa…

Kids these days

Early morning routines are sacred, and when a coworker tries to intervene, tensions can rise.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't really mind going to the doctor for a regular check-up. Of course, if I'm experiencing a specific issue or ailment, it's a little nerve-wracking. For the most part, I just sit in a waiting room, see a doctor, who checks me out, and tells me that I am of thoroughly average health. It's a straightforward routine and I'm lucky that it's been that standard for me. I do understand the fear and loathing of going to a hospital. Waiting in an emergency room…

Here's a great reminder to be careful what you say out loud at work.
