Check out the hilarious “Doctor on the Flight” jokes:
There are many jokes about parents who taunt their children about not becoming doctors. But now there is a meme that mocks how parents can judge their children for their career choices. The new meme template is set around a conversation between a person and their father on an aircraft after there is a medical emergency and the flight attendant asks if there is a “doctor on this flight”.
The replies invariably mock the children’s profession and how it can’t help anyone who needs medical assistance. Though, it is not clear when and how the meme started. The memes have taken the internet by storm.
Here are some examples:
Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on this flight?
Mum: *nudging me* that should’ve been you
Me: Not now Mum
Mum: Not asking for a Twitter expert to help, are they?
Me: Mum, there’s a medical emergency happening right now
Mum: Go and see if being verified helps
