I’m taking linguistic liberty by not saying “the ICU”. People say “sent to or discharged from hospital” all the time, so I’m trying to get away with it because the wording works better.

    The joke works because Brits say ‘hospital’ rather than ‘the hospital’

    Risky click of the day because I thought this said “Inflation Training” and I was suddenly thrust back 20 years reading my friends comedic gay Star Trek erotica.

    That’s okay because in my head I still read it as “the ICU”, so I guess I like my linguistic shackles.
