Everybody loves talking about themselves. I’m guilty just as much as any other person. But you’d think parents with a sick kid in the ER would have the presence of mind to realize that their kid is the sick one who should deserve the attention, not them.

I worked in Pediatrics tonight and I swear half the parents tonight wanted to talk about their own medical conditions, or how they were recently sick, or that one time they had pneumonia and half their lungs were filled with “stuff”. I rarely speak in my role, so I’m always a little anxious to say something, but tonight I just wanted to scream, “Shut UP. Why are you so self centered?!”

Well, just needed to rant for a sec. People are weird.
