I am also a social worker and would be appalled if my colleagues found that meme amusing in the least.

I am frankly shocked that so many mental health consumers on this thread find that meme funny


Thank you for your reply. I am actually surprised too. Maybe I just take things to heart. I would turn in a colleague if they sent me that meme.

Today on The Dr’s a hospital in Pennsylvania was performing surgery on a patient. Well it was a woman being operated on. Some of the doctors started taking pictures of her. The patient had her legs open and a surgical instrument in her vagina.
One doctor was upset and went to hospital administration. Some were fired and others placed on leave. I think professionals need to be professional or change jobs.
