Breaking: Joy Behar Hospitalized, Wonders Why are there so many people pretending to be doctors.” | GomerBlog

New York City, NY – Reports are coming in from NYU where Joy Behar was hospitalized recently. Due to her recent celebrity status among healthcare workers she was given a Hospital Suite” in the ol' abandoned psych ward.

Not only was she given a ‘suite,' but since many healthcare companies have pulled their advertising from The View, they went a step further and stated they didn't want any of their products treating Ms. Behar.” Pretty much everything was removed from her room, even a stethoscope. Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Kimberly-Clark, and many others followed in Johnson and Johnson's footsteps. We do not want our product associated with her in any form commercials or treatment,” the companies released in a joint statement.

We essentially had nothing to treat Ms. Behar,” said Nurse Robinson. Most importantly: do no harm, even if a View” host is your patient. How are we going to treat her if we don't have anything to use?”

Well we dug around in the basement and we found some mercury, Allobathy's Snake Oil, and a bloodletting kit,” another nurse told reporters. We'll just have to make do,” Dr, Lockwell told reporters. Luckily for Joy, Dr. Lockwell is the nation's top bloodletting expert.

She continually asked aloud, Why are there so many people here pretending to be doctors?” When a phlebotomist came in to draw her 4 liters of blood for a VIP bloodletting, Why do you have doctors' needles, and all those doctors' tubes and buckets of blood?”

Joy also couldn't grasp why she had so many people trying to be a doctor when they checked my blood pressure: wannabe doctor. When I started to faint because of my treatment: another wannabe doctor next to the vent. Wannabee doctors are everywhere!”

I don't think it's funny. It takes health care staff down to her level. Plus, it's time to move on and focus on important issues.

Agreed. It's way past the time to move on and stop perseverating.

It's meh. I'm not butt hurt by Joy Behar-I guarantee that she hasn't given any of us a second thought, and this is the first time I've thought about her since the whole kerfuffle.

I'm just disappointed in Gomer Blog. Not one of their better efforts.

I love GomerBlog. I agree we need to move on, but come on! It's a funny parting shot, and most non-medical folks don't even know about GB.
