I got fired from my paramedic job on the first day. I told an eight-year-old who lost his leg in a car accident to "walk it off."

Listen up, buttercup! So, you got a paramedic, right? Their job is to help people, especially when they're hurt. But this genius tells an eight-year-old, who literally just lost a leg in a car crash, to 'walk it off.' That's a super common phrase you say when someone has a minor injury, like a stubbed toe, to tell them to shake it off. But you can't walk off a missing leg! It's dark humor because it's so wildly inappropriate and insensitive, and that's why they got fired! Based on your understanding, you probably thought 'walk it off' was medical advice.
