52 Funny Tweets About Healthcare That Are Always In-Network

Every aspect of going to the doctor is enough to make you lose your mind. 

First, you have to schedule the appointment, which requires you to enter the labyrinthian maze of a “portal” that is, to put it kindly, one of the most imperfect technological tools to be invented since government websites. Next, you enter a period of limbo, where you experience so many random ailments that you become convinced you’ll die before your appointment even takes place. Then, to your horror, you live, meaning that you have to gather every ounce of mental strength in order to make it to the doctor’s office, where you’ll sit in the waiting room for 20 minutes longer than scheduled, because appointments ultimately mean nothing. Eventually, you’ll go through the arbitrary routine of getting your knees knocked and your heart listened to, and, having learned nothing, you’ll pay your copay, schedule another appointment to do whatever that was all over again in another year’s time and stumble out of the office, tangibly older.

While we can’t guarantee that your next trip to the doctor will go any smoother, we can guarantee that you’ll laugh at these tweets about the healthcare system, including those about the mystery of what dental insurance actually covers, the beautiful surprise of providing a stool sample and the feeling of being a prized horse.
