I’m in the fucking emergency department. I’m not feeling very grateful right now. Read the room.
A great example of toxic positivity, that shit sucks.
I guarantee you the people who actually work at the hospital hate them as much as the patients, if not moreso.
These were put in place by a hospital administration that gets paid way more than the doctors to waste time doing exactly stuff like this, while claiming they deserve to be paid so much more because of how much value their leadership brings the hospital.
Here in Brazil, some time ago, people started to say “gratitude” instead of “thank you”. Annoying as fuck
Let’s turn that frown upsidedown.
Maybe they want you to be grateful that you could actually get to a hospital, instead of just suffering in the street? “Count your blessings”, instead of focusing on the negative stuff?
You’re right, though. This isn’t a great message for an emergency room.
"You’ve tried paying exorbitantly
Now try being grateful we even let you in here you little shits"
Haves a heart attack
Ahh yes i need to invite peace and gratitude into my heart.
I didn’t even consider how many people with cardiac issues must be looking at that screen.
Copyright 1968. Hmm, determined or not, that cat must be long dead.
it is beneficial to calm down for some things, as in, when blood is leaking out, or your problem is downwind of stress, but i don’t think rage counts as calming down
The rain one is a subtle “Look, it could be worse. Stay positive. You aren’t dead yet.”
Unless you were struck by lightning whilst dancing in the rain, in which case this motivational image does not constitute legal, medical, or financial advice. Dance in the rain at your own risk.
I mean I’m sure your situation sucks, but I can’t believe this could be even mildly infuriating. Should they have a space screen saver? Should they have images that remind people how fucked they might be? It’s cheesy shit, sure, but sheesh.
