Hemostasis Memes

Blood cells: "Can I clot to prevent injury?" Body: "To prevent injury? Yes!" *Blood proceeds to form clot* Blood cells: "Actually clots and travels to brain like a boss" *Stroke time* This med school meme perfectly captures the tragic irony of thromboembolism - when your body's defense mechanism goes rogue and decides the brain is where the party's at. The clotting cascade, designed to save you from bleeding out, sometimes gets a little too ambitious and sends its creation on a one-way trip to Strokeville. What started as a heroic mission ends with that frog meme saying "it's stroke time" because biology has a dark sense of humor. Imagine explaining this morbidly accurate meme to a 1950s doctor who'd probably prescribe cigarettes for your nerves!
