U.S.—With hospitals inundated with car accident victims all year round, doctors have announced they are running out of compassion, especially since many of those victims didn't wear their seatbelts.
"Listen—my job isn't just to have compassion and heal everyone who gets wheeled in here," said local surgeon Dr. Kilem. "My job is to make sure these people are living the way I want them to, and then decide who lives or dies based on that. This world has too many people in it anyway. Come to think about it, why did I become a doctor? Oh yeah—money."
Doctors around the country are protesting people who are being brought to them for care, most of whom made questionable life decisions that led to their injury.
"Sex workers? Drug addicts? Bungee-jumpers? Who says they even deserve to live anyway?" said Dr. Kilem. "I'm only a doctor for goodness sake." He then got in his new BMW, put three masks on, and drove off.
but how will the docs be able to pay their Mercedes Benz payments then?
Good comparison, Bee.
Thanks for the chuckle.
Perfect analogy. I love the BB.
Bee is brilliant.
Don’t give ‘em any ideas.
I’m old enough to remember when Babylon Bee did satire.
To be honest, I have been wearing my seatbelt since 1977. I went to Germany and it was mandatory both in civilian vehicles and military vehicles to wear them then. I simply got used to wearing the darn thing and actually feel naked if I don't have it on. We have been hit head on before by a guy who came across the centerline on a small bridge and we had absolutely no where to go. I hit the brakes and we prepared to get crushed. He hit us good. Destroyed the front of my Ford Ranger and injured my wife. I ate the airbag on the steering wheel. Like to have strangled to death on that crap in that bag. So, we have always worn them. But, this guy has no right to decide whom it tries to save or allow to die. He ALLOWS someone to die, he needs to be charged with allowing that person to die, and lose his license to "practice" medicine.
Pssst … the Babylon Bee is satire…
Its fun to see folks get caught. I know I responded in a similar manner early on. This is why I don't like adding a satire warning to the title!
RE: Not wearing a seat belt.
Well what if I pull a Fauxi and say ‘The benefits outweigh the risks’?
GM ‘Buckle to Drive’ Seatbelt Requirement Coming to 2022 SUVs, Full-Size Trucks
The standard feature will prevent the transmission from shifting out of Park unless the driver’s seatbelt is buckled.
“This is why I don’t like adding a satire warning to the title!”
Yeah, kinda ruins the fun, right.
The BB runs great stories that are lightly grounded in truth, somewhere, and sounds just factual enough to snag the unwary.
I finally learned to check the source before reading. :/)
Goes for training wheels on kids bikes as well.
Hardly satire…..
Terrific, again.
It’s the 🐝
