    🚩Red Flags vs. Ratchet 🚩

    There's a difference between a red flag and just being a little ratchet...or is there? 😂 This week, we are breaking down red flags in dating, friendships, work, healthcare and everyday life and deciding which ones are legitimate warning signs-and which ones are just questionable behavior we are probably guilty of ourselves. From the things that make you immediatly say "absolutely not" to the ones that make you think "ok, that's not a red flag...that's just ratchet", nothing is off limits. Grab a drink, judge along with us and see if you agree. 🍷🚩What's a red flag you will never ignore? ⚠️ Mature humor and inappropriate language. 🩺 for entertainment only. Not for medical advice. The Ratchet Nightingales, where healthcare meets chaos.
