Doctor Explains How She Was Uninvited From Her BFF’s Wedding Because She Works With "Sick People"

by Ayoub

The pandemic has made life a living hell, many habits got disrupted because of the new rules that were designed to stop the pandemic from spreading further. Many special occasions had to be canceled and postponed indefinitely because these events usually host a lot of people and it can become a hotspot for the coronavirus.

We all thought that by the time the vaccine comes out and enough people get it, the virus will simply disappear and life would go back to normal, but things ended up being way more complicated than that. People eventually had to accept this new way of life because otherwise, things can get much worse and that is not something anyone is willing to risk.

Even now, with restrictions easing up and people getting more and more used to COVID-19, that fear did not simply disappear and many people are still extra cautious when it comes to anything related to this subject. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

Emily Long, a plastic surgery resident currently working in the ICU, witnessed that fear firsthand. She made a TikTok explaining how she got a last-minute uninvite from her friend’s wedding because her whole work revolves around working with “sick people”.

Emily was initially getting ready for her friend’s wedding in Austin, Texas.

However, Emily lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and had to book a plane ticket beforehand to attend her friend's special day. That's not the only thing Emily had to worry about since she also happens to work in the ICU. The woman took all necessary precautions before getting ready to see her friend, constantly keeping her profession in mind.

She then explained how hard it really is for healthcare workers to get time off.

Emily found herself in a quite complicated situation since she invested time, money, and especially effort to be ready for the wedding. On top of that, the healthcare industry is currently going through exceptional times, which makes it much harder for doctors and nurses to take time off.

Emily revealed that a cost of $2800 is attached to her getting a free weekend.

Emily was touched by the amount of love and support she received from total strangers.

Here's the original TikTok that Emily made initially:

@dr.ems Have an entire paychecks worth of plane tickets and a packed suitcase to nowhere now… #tellmeaboutatime #healthcare #wedding #medicine ♬ original sound - Emily Long, MD

She's not even best friend material.

In the end, considering how irresponsible everyone was at the event that Emily never attended, it is a good thing that she got to skip all the potential risks that she could have been exposed to over there. Especially considering the fact that she is a frontline worker and hospitals can't afford to be understaffed at the moment.

Emily's former best friend really showed her true colors thanks to this event, and that is the most important thing to gain from this experience. Fake friends always eventually expose themselves in the best ways, karma is truly a B.
