Thank you, Joy Behar!

Nurses Humor

Published

If you caught The View yesterday, you saw Joy Behar ask of Miss Colorado (Miss America contestant) and nurse, "Why does she have a doctor's stethoscope around her neck?"

Our friends at Gomer Blog couldn't resist.

I think I'll order one custom-made with assless chaps. :)

They don't buy them, they borrow them from nurses and forget to return them.

Michelle Collins is no peach, either. She's the one who initially brought up the monologue in a derogatory way, but Behar is getting most of the heat.

I think that all of them need to find something better to do with their time. Seriously, I don't understand what the point of that show is. Can anyone enlighten me?

Have the women on The View ever encountered a nurse in the healthcare setting? Have they never been to a doctor's office or hospital and seen what nurses do? She has a kid for crying out loud. I'm sure the nurses taking care of her during her labor and delivery were using "doctor's stethoscopes" on her AND her baby.

I wonder when they'll start making medical assistant stethoscopes since I'm POSITIVE the MA that takes my blood pressure at the OBGYN is using a doctor's stethoscope.

"The View" is just one more example of how TV has gone and made stupid, ignorant people famous and obscenely wealthy.

So I scrolled down on their page. Another one of the hosts said that (paraphrased here) there are consequences to making fun of groups of people.

:sarcastic:

You gotta hand it to them though, being able to make quite a comfortable living by mocking and belittling someone else's career choice would have probably won them a Miss America pageant.

Oh, finally! I'll be able to buy a nurse stethoscope so I can hang all my stethoscope bling from it! Getting the glue gun ready now... bedazzle anyone?

Seriously, what a jerk Joy turned out to be.

You would think they would realize that dissing the people who get to decide the size of their IV and Foley is probably not such a good idea.

A comment like that may make me break sterility. Oops...

Will there be a place for my cell phone on this new stethoscope???

No kidding!

This is probably why I don't watch much TV. Ugh...

What bothers me most is that she is probably representative of what the average citizen thinks of an RN's skill and knowledge.
