nurse humor
Hospital staff jokes
Nurse humor is the dark, often morbid comedy that develops among nurses and other healthcare workers as a coping mechanism for the stress, trauma, and bodily realities of medical work.
It tends toward gallows humor about death, bodily functions, and difficult patients—jokes that would shock outsiders but provide emotional release among colleagues.
You wouldn't believe the nurse humor in the break room after that shift.
