The 'Hospital Don't Do X' meme format typically features a first-person perspective photo from a hospital bed, often highlighting an IV drip or a hospital gown. The humor is derived from the accompanying caption, which warns the audience against performing a ridiculous, impossible, or hyper-specific task that supposedly landed the poster in the hospital. This trend evolved from a parody of sincere 'vague-booking'—where social media users post hospital photos for attention without explaining why—into a surreal comedy format. Popular variations include warnings about 'out-pizzaing the hut' or buying 'gas station weed,' turning a moment of supposed medical crisis into a platform for absurd internet irony.
