“hospitals, going into hysterics because they fired their very own employees is the absolute height of absurdity.”
It reminds me of when PCP (Angel Dust) was enjoying popularity as a recreational drug. Users were famously strong, impervious to pain, and out of control while under the influence. One violent user was locked up by police, and when they checked on him later, they saw that he had gouged out his own eyes. When he was asked why he had done it, he said “It seemed like a good idea at the time.”
