Joe Biden sums up his reason for living in a five-letter word: Nurses

Joe Biden has been fairly quiet lately, but speaking at the National Conference on Mental Health on Monday, he proved that he’s still on the job(s):

"Doctors allow you to live — nurses make you want to live" – Joe Biden.

Here’s the full quote just so it’s known that Biden didn’t leave anybody out:

"Doctors allow you to live, nurses make you want to live." [laughter] "Male AND female nurses." — Joe Biden.

With any luck, Joe will work his experiences with nurses into a future episode of Being Biden.
