i totally understand where you guys are coming from...and I'm not so sure making fun of a schizophrenic veteran is something I could do....
however as a nurse...well the nurse "memes" out there would probably offend a lot of the general public
the thing is...these healthcare fields are high high burn out fields and comic relief is much appreciated. Sure we may joke between ourselves about patients but it does not translate into our work or what we really feel. We can be very compassionate and caring and diligent but still be able to complain and laugh with each other on the side. I imagine pdocs make fun of us all the time. I'm sure of it.
I have worked with enough doctors to know they do it. but they are good and caring doctors.
If you don't laugh in some of these fields you will and I mean you WILL cry.
the burnout can be unreal

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
