A meme, in this case, is a cultural carrier message disguised as a clever saying, but carries the potential to create acceptance, resignation or support for concepts our mind frames we and our patients just...don't...need.
OzAmbo used this line in a reply about the spun-out medic:
"This concept, this retarded throwaway line of "someone saving someone else" is nothing more than a retarded idea perpetuated by fools who accept it as dogma because it helps to inflate their sense of self importance".
I can cite another:
"Stay and play", which makes it sound like the choice to move rapidly or try to stabilize more on site before transport (if transport at all) is the debonaire, gutsy thing to do.
Some are sexist, some are social. Some are black humor, some are said in all seriousness. In fact, if repeated often enough by many, they can all become serious thought processes.
Any other candidates? Any just BUG you?
