Talking Doctor Stories

I'm not sure how true these are, but they're entertaining



A man comes into the ER and yells,
"My wife's going to
have her baby in the
cab!" I grabbed my stuff,
rushed out to the cab,
lifted the lady's --Dress,
and began to take off her
underwear. Suddenly I
noticed that there were
several cabs, and I was in the wrong one-

Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX

At the beginning of my shift
I placed a stethoscope on
slightly deaf female patient's
anterior chest wall.
Big breaths," I instructed.
Yes, they used to be,
"remorsefully replied the patient.

--Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA

One day I had to be the bearer
of bad news when I told
a wife that her
husband had died of a massive
myocardial infarct. Not
more than five minutes
later, I heard her reporting
to the rest of the family
that he had died of a
"massive internal fart."

--Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba , Canada

I was performing a complete physical,
including the
visual acuity test. I
placed the patient twenty
feet from the chart and
began, "Cover your right
eye with your hand." He read
the 20/20 line perfectly.
Now your left."
Again, a flawless read Now both,"
I requested. There
was silence. He
couldn't even read the
large E on the top line. I
turned and discovered that
he had done exactly what
I had asked; he was standing
there with both his
eyes covered I was laughing
too hard to finish the exam.

--Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester ,MA

During a patient's two week
follow-up appointment with
his cardiologist, he
informed me, his doctor,
that he was having trouble
with one of his
medications. Which one?"
I asked. The patch. The nurse
told me to put on a
new one every six hours and
now I'm running out of
places to put it!" I had
him quickly undress and
discovered what I hoped I
wouldn't see. Yes, the man
had over fifty patches on his body! Now the
instructions include removal of
the old patch before applying a new one.

--Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA

While acquainting myself with
a new elderly patient, I
asked, "How long have
you been bed-ridden?"
After a look of complete
confusion she answered .
Why, not for about twenty years
-- when my husband was alive."

--Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR

I was caring for a woman from Kentucky
and asked,So, how's your breakfast this morning?"
It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used
to the taste," the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

--Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit , MI

And Finally . . . .
A new, young MD doing his
residency in OB was quite
embarrassed performing
female pelvic exams. To cover
his embarrassment he had
unconsciously formed
a habit of whistling softly.
The middle aged lady upon whom
he was performing this
exam suddenly burst
out laughing and further
embarrassed him. He looked up
from his work and
sheepishly said, "I'm sorry.
Was I tickling you?"

She replied, "No doctor,
but the song you were
whistling was 'I wish I was
an Oscar Meyer Wiener."

--won't admit his name

I somehow broke my computer today, ripped part of my toenail to the point of bleeding and I have a cold. I'm all happy and tingly now.

Well, good luck with that.. There are few things more irritating than a malfunctioning computer

We are off to do groceries. Oh the excitement...

I'm still here. Mr. Technical Support required 18 more obscure numbers of varying importance.

Have fun with groceries. Bleeding all over the place forced the spouse to do it alone instead of me doing it myself for once.

You can purchase things to provide excitement later. Whipped cream is a good choice.

Very funny stories...

These abbreviations were often not liked by patients when the NHS released patient files...

BUNDY - But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet

DIRTBAGS - Dirty Indulgent Requesting Transport Because Alcohol Gives [him] Seizures

DRTTTT - Dead Right There, There, There and There (used after pedestrian/train collisions)

FLK/FLP - Funny Looking Kid/Funny Looking Parents

NFN - Normal For Norfolk (if you don't know, the stereotypical person from Norfolk tends towards 'limited ancestry' - note stereotype, not my view)

TEETH - Tried Everything Else, Try Homeopathy

TMB -Too Many Birthdays

TUBE - Totally Unnecessary Breast Examination

@Mag - few things are more fun than spraying a can of whipped cream into your mouth - especially children. I'm sure you didn't mean anything else...

I knew some people had strange laughing habbits... but that's just odd.

Certainly not! I'm outraged that you assume...wait. Nevermind, I'm not at work. You don't spray it there! You use that to clean off what you sprayed it on. Duh.

I'm on the laptop. The desktop lays dismembered on the floor. I think I repaired it, but now I have to hook it back up to everything.
