Brian Regan - The Emergency Room

Brian's hilarious bit on hospitals which offers numeorus humorous reminders of my recent emergency room visit for kidney stones. In the midst of excruciating pain, it also taught me to "Say 8!"

[@MrGritz7]

He is one of the best. Doesn't curse either. Impressive.

[@eyeseer1]

@@IBWIV It would be kind of low of a hospital to charge you for a valet service in an emergency situation.

[@chrisconley8583]

eyeseer1 I did valet parking for at a hospitals for years. The problem is if they didn’t charge for emergencies, everyone would be an emergency. In fairness the hospitals I worked at didn’t whack people too hard, just enough to pay for us. I think it was $2 for 4 hours, $8 for 8 hours or all day and that was in a major city in the northeast. I saw some pretty crazy shit and strangely got to talk to some people of notoriety.

This gave me hysterical flashbacks to driving myself to the hospital with a lodged gall stone. Pain so bad I threw up. I hit every red light, and at the Emergency Room valet parking I was stuck behind people casually coming to visit. I literally left my running car at the driveway and thankfully one of my boys from my U-19 soccer team was working there and saw me staggering away from my car. When I entered, barely standing, no one would acknowledge me and I had to almost force a lady to check me in. On the ward, on the gurney (that made me laugh) they tried a regular pain killer and I laughed it off. They gave me blessed morphine. I was ready to go home right there. Gall bladder was removed the next day. It was my own tragic comedy. I was released too late to get the oxy script filled at the pharmacy. I spent the first night without painkillers.

[@elainemorris4806]

Omg, how you got through the 1st night without pain meds is beyond me. Love your story. I mean, it's something you can laugh about now. Brian's stand up is too funny, and true.

[@andrewsmith9174]

@@elainemorris4806, to be honest, being in such blind pain that I threw up my own dinner, with my youngest son that was already breaking my balls about what I had cooked to say,”I told you the dinner was bad.” Diving myself to find care for whatever this was, I went first to a walk-in at just 7:00pm and it was closed! Stopped at every damn light all the way to the emergency room, etc. Going without meds was the least pain I had felt since it started. Thanks for enjoying the story. Not my first time driving myself to the emergency room with a crazy injury though.

That's one of his trademarks. But he did do a bit once, when I worked for a club in Chicago where he headlined for a week, that was apparently infamous and somewhat of a secret. Every comic in town came to see it, he did it one time, for the midnight show on Saturday. He ends up saying the F word about 14 times but it's such a perfectly crafted joke, about diagramming sentences, everyone was DYING. I was damn lucky to be there to see it, lol.

That was after going into the bathroom at a gas station and realizing that going into the bathroom at a gas station without your cellphone when you're in excruciating pain is a bad plan. That was a great way to start a vacation. Kudos to the cleaning crew at the condo we rented. That toilet was pristine. 10/10, would puke there again. When I was a kid my dad dropped me off at the ER so he could park the car. "Just go in. They'll know who you are." They did 😂
