I have a bodybuilder friend who was like the most popular guy during the first year of med school because everyone would use him as a model to study muscles cuz if you touched him you could feel a lot of the different muscles.

It's one thing when they call us names. But to play hot potato with your unit! For God's sakes! It's a medical device.

Or a standard Danny Devito

That is kind of funny, since there is genuinely a decent chance that someone who's unwell is also obese or unfit or old...
