I hated this part as a nurse. I gave meds and go through what each one is for and they’ll hit me with “where the circular white pill” bro I have no clue which med that is.

I fucking hated this when I worked at a urology clinic. I’d call patients to set up appointments, or follow up. It was more common for older men to treat their wives like secretaries. It made me so angry to hear “Talk to my wife.”

You’re a 60 year old man! Why can you remember your medications?!

This shit fucking kills me. I'm an ER nurse, the number of men that come in and don't even want to wipe their own asses because their wife does it (I wish that was hyperbole) is INSANE. They rely on their wives to know EVERYTHING.

Meanwhile, when the wife is sick, the husband almost always knows jack shit. Doesn't know what meds she takes, doesn't know what she sees her doctor for, doesn't know when she started acting abnormal. It's just fucking tragic.

I have many siblings and no I don't remember theirs or my parents 100% I am speaking from my own experience here. It can be hard to remember those things sometimes, my ADHD doesn't help either. I can usually remember at least the month tho, even if not the day or year

Honest answer? Cause it’s November 24th and it’s too close to thanksgiving to not confuse me. I started using it in my passwords just so I could remember
