I think this is often where the black humor tend to come into play. But black humor and political correctness are like oil and water, so I imagine it creates an extremely uncomfortable work environment for some people on both sides. Somebody who's PC is probably going to find everybody else beastial, and somebody who's not is probably going to be terrified of the PC types going to HR, social media, or whatever else. This nuance immediately came to mind when this article described the EMTs as fratty, which is probably exactly how this might seem to an outsider who doesn't understand how people can cope with being around extremely depressing scenarios constantly.
I have family in medicine and there were just endless stories that would have had social media in a frenzy if anybody ever shared them. At some point you have to laugh or cry, and one is way more sustainable than the other.
Personally, I think this is one reason The Pitt has been so popular.
It shows the grindstone that is never-ending work + being disrespected by a chunk of the public for doing a good thing + dealing with insurance/financials + personal trauma.
The way that EMTs/PMs and ED staff find a way to make that pressure cooker sustainable shouldn't need any excuses for not being PC. It simply is making an impossible thing possible. Normal folks have the luxury of not dealing with that.
