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," remorse |

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." |

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
were eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish
the exam. |

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. |

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 alive." |

Dr. Jones goes to the retirement home for
his monthly rounds. He sees Joe and asks him, "Joe,
how much is three times three?"
Joe responds "59."
He goes over to Tom and asks, "Tom, how much is
three times three?"
Tom responds, "Wednesday." He finally goes over to
John and asks, "
John, how much is three times three?" "NINE" replies
John.
"That’s right ...now how did you come to that
answer?"
"It was easy...I just subtracted 59 from Wednesday!" |

You have a cough? Go home tonight; eat a

cough. |

After receiving his medication from the
pharmacist, the customer asks, "are these time
release pills?" The pharmacist replies, "Yes. They
begin to work after your check clears." |

Late one night the doctor’s wife was home
alone, after her husband had been called to the
hospital for an emergency. The doorbell rings, and
she answers.
"Is the doctor at home?" asks the man at the
door, in a very hoarse and quiet voice due to his
aching throat.
"No, c’mon in!" whispers the doctor’s wife in
return. |
