Get through it without laughing - dare ya

I must admit that I didn't find it funny until the end when he said, "set the expectations so that you can win. For instance, if you know it's going to take an hour before they are seen, then tell them that it's going to take an hour and twenty minutes, and that way you have exceeded their expectations."

I find it hilarious that he would even say that as a way of promoting that hospital. Basically, what this idiot is telling potential pts is that you will be lied to in order to make ourselves look good. Kinda makes you wonder what else are they willing to lie about in order to make themselves look good. Whom ever their PR person is needs to be fired. Hilarious!

would love to see this guy work triage for 8hrs and see if he is still singing the same tune - hell no just in 3hrs will be enough

A friend of mine found this...

Reminds me of a cross between an overacting Jim Carrey, Max Headroom, and an SNL skit.......

Max Headroom I agree, he just needs to stutter a bit. Mostly pathetic. Just say nice things to the patients and everybody will be happy. No more complaints. Trust me.

I'm sorry, but I don't get it & I've watched it twice. Is it his speech impediment? Is that what's supposed to be funny? Oh well, to each his/her own-I guess.

Hmm I hope you're smoking something really good because this video is not funny.

You noticed a speech impediment? To me, that's not very funny if you're trying to be funny about something like that...But then I'm a bit overly sensitive about making fun of someone's impediments since my son has a speech therapist, etc and has pretty bad speech issues...

Really?! again, really?!

If you don't get what's ridiculous about the clip, you don't have to, in case you felt you needed to. But please don't go off the cliff with tangents, please. The humor/absurdity is in the info as well as the delivery of it. Please don't try to diagnose the guy, now that is wierd!!

I also liked how "offering a pillow" and "offering more pain medication" were used in the same sentence and apparently have the same importance.

"hold on you two. Shimmer is a floor wax. And a dessert topping".

I'm sure he means well, but this is definitely a simplistic view of the situation. On the other hand, if the PBS folks are looking for someone to take over for Mr. Rogers, here's their man.

Does not apply to my post and is not making any sense? Where have I diagnosed, anyone? I responded to the post by Karingone, implying that we all thought the vid was funny purely due to the speaker's "speech impediment...." I was surprised because A)I didn't really hear a speech impediment (because my son has a really bad one) and B)I didn't realize someone would think we were the type of people to sit around making fun of someone that has a speech impediment...

It's all in perception.....

Calm yourself onaclearday...Take deep breaths and drink some water...

Anyway.....moving on.............
