This is from The Best of "Idiot Award"

Could this be true? :-\
If this would've happened to me, I would've been stuck in the mental hospital for longer than 3 days!  :o
I don't see how that could actually happen. It seems like it was made.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

No one

Never doubt the depths of human stupidity. It is fathomless.

I've heard of that before, but it happened a long time ago it seems.

I don't know if it's true but I wouldn't doubt it.  :thoughtful:

I don't know either.
What's the first thing all of us would say? "I'm not crazy!"
What the first thing the workers at the mental institution would say? "Yeah, right!"

I feel like with everything in the medical field being digital right away all it would take would be a quick search of your name on the database and they would see that you didn't have a chart.

It's a legend, not real. One of several similar stories along the same vein.

From Snopes:

The Zimbabwe bus riders tale appeared on the Internet in April 1997, presented as an item that had come from the 4 April 1997 issue of South Africa's Financial Mail. But of course it hadn't — searches of that paper's archives failed to turn up the story. The yarn was subsequently published in the Weekly World News, a U.S. supermarket tabloid that "gleefully chronicled the exploits of alien babies, animal-human hybrids and dead celebrities."

Similar to this story, also false:

Not so long ago, a Scranton coal tycoon employed a chef named Napoleon whose roasts and sauces were famous for miles around. The president of a nearby university borrowed him one day to cook an important dinner, and Napoleon proudly set forth to fill the engagement, his trusty carving knives wrapped in a piece of old newspaper.

He just did catch his bus, and, breathing heavily, instructed the driver, "Step on the gas, mister. The president is waiting for me." The driver looked warily at the carving knives, nodded, "You're the boss," and drove him straight to a lunatic asylum.

Thinking this must be the university, the cook unwrapped his knives and announced to the guard at the gate, "I'm Napoleon. Where's the party?" Next thing Napoleon knew he was in a padded cell.


Both humorous, butt not real.

You now what is real?

Liverpool beat Villarreal 3-0.

That's real.

Wait.
Are you saying that this isn't real?

What if this happened before the medical field became digital? You probably don't remember this, but some of us had to 'physically carry' our medical records from one place to another.  ::)

There was an election yesterday. I have no idea what it was for, don't remember receiving my card either.

Must have been the one to elect Jürgen Norbert Klopp as King.
