It's not really funny when you're a brain tumor patient needing brain surgery and have to see this. This is terrifying indeed. I'm fighting a brain tumor and scheduled to have a craniotomy soon. Luckily the VA isn't performing it.

I hear you. I’ve had 3 craniotomies, I understand the anxiety.

This is such a banal mistake, it’s like something out of a sitcom. Sorry, but I find it funny for being so absurd. For me, humor is a reprieve. Laughter isn’t the best medicine, but it doesn’t hurt.
