Doctors......

Real life doctors share their experiences......


1. A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells, 'My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi.' I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly after protests from the lady I noticed that there were several taxis, and I was in the wrong one.
Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, St. Andrews Hosp. Glasgow.


2. At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. 'Big breaths,' I instructed. 'Yes, they used to be,'. . . replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Barnes, St.Thomas's Bath .


3. 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 on her mobile phone reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a 'massive internal fart.
'Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg Royal London Hosp.


4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me 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.
Submitted by Dr.. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk General.


5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked 'How long have you been bedridden?'After a look of complete confusion she answered, 'Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was still alive.'
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson- Maidenhead Royal Kent .


6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a man I asked, 'So how was your breakfast this morning?   ''It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste,' Bob replied.I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labelled 'KY Jelly.'
Submitted by Dr. Leonard J. Brandon. Bristol Infirmary.


7. A nurse was on duty in the A&E when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for an immediate operation. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, 'Keep off the grass.' Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said  'Sorry, had to mow the lawn.'
KGH London .Dr. wouldn't submit his name!

The truth is often so funny! Good start to my day!

quilly said...

Uh-huh. Who told you these were true? A couple of these doctors acted way to idiotically to have actually made it through med school -- but the stories are funny.

That Channel 4 thing gets me. I saw the whole thing, but even if you didn't, you may have seen the trailer... with that lady doctor with glasses saying "some patients are more deserving of compassion than others" ... REALLY~??!?

Lulda Casadaga said...

Nice way to start my Thursday...I wouldn't mind being bedridden tonight! ;)

Anndi said...

I really should know better by now not to read this stuff and sip coffee at the same time...

"massive internal fart"

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

On a related note, my father used to tell me that there was a tombstone that said:

"Let your wind go free,
Twas my wind killed me"

Hmmmmm.. coincidence?

cheshire wife said...

A Lady's Life said...

very funny :)

secret agent woman said...

Those are funny. Except #3 was entirely the docotor's fault - why owuld he say MI instead of heart attack except to make himself sound educated? You meet people where they are.

Gledwood said...

The only advice I've been given about doctors ~ and it's true ~ is DON'T GO TO A WHITE MIDDLE AGED FEMALE DR. They're really uptight.
