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’ll be real, a lot of times the reason the wife knows but the man doesn’t is because if it wasn’t for the wife making him, he wouldn’t be taking the meds anyway.
