Gomer (or GOMER), as defined by The House of God[1]: "Get Out of My Emergency Room; 'a human being who has lost−often through age−what goes into being a human being... it's what you want to say when one's sent from the nursing home at three AM...' (the Fat Man)."
"But gomers are not just dear people," said Fats. "Gomers are human beings who have lost what goes into being human beings. They want to die, and we will not let them. We're cruel to the gomers, by saving them, and they're cruel to us, by fighting tooth and nail against our trying to save them. They hurt us, we hurt them."
