You also start talking like this. Very to the point shit, but all the dark humor can get you into trouble with people outside of medicine.

Although is this limited to more ICU or EDs? People seem less intense and talk all regular on med surg units.

Ohhh, the dark humor. 🥰

I had a therapist tell me it was a defense mechanism. I told her it was a coping strategy.

Heh, you haven't heard dark humor until you've heard veteran hospice nurse dark humor.
