re: #50 Targetpractice

At the very least, it means that an ER nurse entered Kirk’s info into the system and slapped a bracelet on him. But putting out your back is not a life-threatening “emergency,” so they likely told him to take a number and sit in the lobby in order to keep beds free for actual emergencies. Since there probably wasn’t an open bench in the waiting room on which he could lie, the receptionist directed him to a bench just outside despite being told that his being a white man in pain was a vital emergency deserving of immediate attention.

The end result was probably a shot of painkillers, along with a script to drop off at the pharmacy for more, and a referral to his primary care doctor for a follow-up.

Kirk and his ilk try to pull of these stunts and are just so bad at it.
