Is it wrong that when my co-workers ask me things like
"Is 'Metacarpal' a type of medication?"
I want to say
"Only if you want it to be?"
(I have also been asked if 'tournequet' and 'hemodialysis' are medications too)

Wow, I thought I would have something to say, but that has truly rendered me speechless.

"Metacarpal" surprises me, if only because I expect government office workers to have run across that one before. I guess Health doesn't get the office ergonomics bulletins that Industry did.

and just so you don't fret too much, these aren't the nurses asking these questions, just the other staff.

I am neither a nurse nor a Health Canada employee, yet I know what all three of those words mean.
An excellent office gift would be a medical dictionary -- then you could do what my father always did when I pestered him for answers as a small child, "Go look it up!".
To call your coworkers retarded gives serious insult to those with Down's Syndrome. So let's just call them assclowns.
