WHAT DOCTORS SAY AND WHAT THEY'RE REALLY THINKING WHAT THEY SAY WHAT THEY'RE THINKING This should be taken care of I'd planned a trip to Hawaii next right away." month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before it cures itself. Welllllll, what have we here... I have no idea and I'm hoping you'll give me a clue. Let me check your medical history. I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending any more time with you. Why don't we make another appointment I'm playing golf this afternoon, later in the week. and this a waste of time. --or-- I need the bucks, so I'm charging you for another office visit. We have some good news and some The good news is, I'm going to buy bad news. that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to pay for it. Let's see how it develops. Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured. Let me schedule you for some tests. I have a forty percent interest in the lab. I'd like to have my associate look He's going through a messy divorce at you. and owes me a bundle. How are we today? I feel great. You, on the other hand, look like crap. I'd like to prescribe a new drug. I'm writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig. If it doesn't clear up in a week, I don't know what the hell it is. give me a call. Maybe it will go away by itself. That's quite a nasty looking wound. I think I'm going to throw up. This may smart a little. Last week two patients bit off their tongues. Well, we're not feeling so well I'm stalling for time. Who the hell today, are we...? are you and why are you are here? This should fix you up. The drug company slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff. Everything seems to be normal. Crap! I guess I can't buy that new beach condo after all. I'd like to run some more tests. I can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one. Do you suppose all this stress could You're crazier'n a craphouse rat. be affecting your nerves?" Now who's a goofy shrink who'll split fees with me? Why don't you slip out of your I haven't had a good laugh all day. things. There is a lot of that going around. My God, that's the third one this week. I'd better learn something about this. If those symptoms persist, call for I've never heard of anything so an appointment. disgusting. Thank God I'm off next week. A doctor had a problem with a leak in his bathroom plumbing that became bigger and bigger. Even though it was 2 a.m., the doctor decided to phone his plumber. "For Pete's sake, Doc," he wailed, "this is some time to wake a guy." "Well," the doctor answered testily, "you've never hesitated to call me in the middle of the night with a medical problem. Now it just happens I've got a plumbing emergency." There was a moment's silence. Then the plumber spoke up, "Right you are, Doc," he agreed. "Tell me what's wrong." The doctor explained about the leak in the bathroom. "Tell you what to do," the plumber offered. "Take two aspirins every four hours and drop them down the pipe. If the leak hasn't cleared up by morning, phone me at the office." A man who hasn't been feeling very well lately goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. After the examination, the doctor comes out with the results and says, "I'm afraid I have some bad news, You're dying and you don't have much time." "Oh no, that's terrible," says the man, "How long have I got?" "Only about 10," says the doctor. "10?! 10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!", he asks desperately. The doctor looks at his watch and says, "9...8...7..." Doctor: "Well, Joe, I have some bad news and some VERY bad news for you." Patient: "What is it, Doc?" Doctor: "The bad news is you have only 24 hrs. to live." Patient: "Oh doctor, that's terrible. What'll I do? And how could anything be worse than that? What's the VERY bad news?" Doctor: "Well, I'm afraid I tried all day yesterday to reach you." Doctor, doctor, my wooden leg is giving me a lot of pain. Why's that? My wife keeps hitting me over the head with it. Doctor, doctor, my hair's coming out. Can you give me something to keep it in? Certainly - how about a paper bag? Doctor, doctor, people keep ignoring me. Next, please! Doctor, doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! Doctor, doctor, I feel like a bridge. What's come over you? Two cars and a bus! Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a spoon. Sit there and don't stir. Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a billiard ball. Get back in the queue. Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a pack of cards. I'll deal with you later. Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking there's two of me. One at a time, please. Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a dog. Lie down on the couch and I'll examine you. I can't. I'm not allowed on the furniture. Doctor, doctor, I've lost my memory. When did it happen? When did what happen? Doctor, doctor, my little boy's swallowed a bullet. What shall I do? Well, for a start, don't point him at me. Patient: Doctor, will you treat me? Doctor: No. You have to pay like everyone else. PATIENT: Doctor, I can't feel my legs! DOCTOR: I know, we had to amputate your hands. Doctor to patient: "How did those suppositories work out for you?" "Well, Doc, for all the good those pills did for me, I could have shoved them up my ass" Why should you never ever use half a suppository? You are supposed to shove one up your ass whole. "Doctor, how long after surgery do I have to wait to have sex?" "Geez, I don't know. Nobody has ever asked me that about a tonsillectomy." The patient shook his doctor's hand in gratitude and said, "Since we are the best of friends, I would not want to insult you by offering payment. But I would like for you to know that I had mentioned you in my will." "That is very kind of you," said the doctor emotionally, and then added, "Can I see that prescription I just gave you? I'd like to make a little change..." Regarding extra billing ny Ontario doctors... I guess that would make them all plastic surgeons As in "Will that be Visa or Mastercard?" "During my operation, Nurse, I heard the surgeon use a four-letter word that upset me very much", said the patient. What word was that?, queried the Nurse? "Oops!" A man walks into a doctors office and puts a note on the table in front of the doctor. The note says, 'I can't talk, help me!'. The doctor thinks for a while and says to the man, 'Put your dick on the table here.' The man thinks this is a bit weird but does as the doctor said anyway. The doctor takes a rubber hammer (which is usually used to test someone's reflexes) and hits the poor man's dick with it as hard as he can. The man cries in great agony: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....' The doctor just says, 'Come again tomorrow and we'll learn B!' When the young career girl consulted a doctor about her diminishing sexuality, she was given a hormone shot and told to call back in a week. "Doctor," she screamed over the phone the next week, "my voice has become terribly low." "That's not too unusual," replied the doctor. "Have you had any other reactions?" "Yes," she moaned. "I've sprouted hair on my chest." "My goodness," the doctor gasped, "how far down does it go?" "All the way to my testicles" she replied. Patient: Doctor, you've got to help me. Every night I get the uncontrollable urge to go downstairs and stick my dick into the biscuit tin. Do you know what's wrong with me? Doctor: Yes...you're fucking crackers. A man took his girlfriend to see the doctor because she had been suffering chest pains. The doctor examined her and then asked her to step outside while he spoke to her boyfriend alone. "Well sir, your girlfriend has acute angina", said the Doctor. "Yeah! And her tits are pretty good as well!" A woman belts into the doctors office, followed by her 5 year old son. Woman: Doctor, Doctor, My William has just swallowed a roll of film. Doctor: Calm down...Now William you go a sit over there. Woman: What are you doing? Doctor: Sit here with me and we'll see what develops. Tom says, "I think I've got hemorrhoids." Bill asks, "Have you seen a doctor?" "No, I'm too embarrassed." "Well, try this old country remedy. Wash your anus in lukewarm tea. It worked for my dad." Tom follows Bill's suggestion, but gets no relief, and finally sees a doctor, who examines him and says, "First, you have indeed got hemorrhoids. Second, you will shortly be going on a long journey." The doctor had just been buried. The last words of the service over, his friends and family started toward their cars. However, they stopped because a strange, eerie sound suddenly was heard from the grave. As the guests looked around, a colleague of the deceased said, "It's nothing...just his beeper." A lady hears that the local drug store is featuring a mind-reading druggist. She can't believe it. She goes down to the store, and sure enough, there's a sign in the window: Mind-reading druggist. As she walks in, the druggist says, "You're here for suppositories, right?" "Nope, I'm here for tampons." "Well, I didn't miss by much, did I?" A man slumps into the doctor's office with a fried egg hanging out of one ear, baked beans dripping out of the other, french fries jammed up his nose, bits of hamburger oozing from one eye, meringue trickling from the other. "I feel awful, Doc," he complains. The doc examines him and finds more foodstuffs in navel, anus and penis. He pronounces his diagnosis, "I think your problem is that you're not eating properly!" I like to tell the story about how busy my doctor is whenever I visit him. One day, after a brisk three minute examination, he grabs up a prescription pad and pulls a rectal thermometer out of his breast pocket. "Doc," I interrupted, "I hate to tell you how to do your job, but you're writing my prescription with a rectal thermometer. He looked down in horror and exclaimed, "Oh, my God. That means some asshole's got my pen!" It was a quiet night and the nurses were sitting around the central work area drinking coffee and eating doughnuts. The doctor went to see the lone patient who had come in for rectal bleeding. The doctor's job was to put his finger up the patient's fanny and get some stool on the tip of his rubber glove, then smear a sample of the stool onto a testing card to see if it contained blood. He put on his rubber glove, disappeared into the patient's room, smeared chocolate frosting onto the gloved fingertip, returned to the central work area, sat down with the nurses, and licked off the tip of his brown-tipped finger. "Tastes like blood, all right," he announced. A doctor told a female patient, "I want you to avoid sex with your husband for 3 weeks. The woman answered, "No problem, I have a boyfriend." A man with a bad stomach complaint goes to his doctor and asks him what he can do. The doctor replies that the illness is quite serious but can be cured by inserting a suppository up his anal passage. The man agrees, and so the doctor warns him of the pain, tells him to bend over and shoves the thing way up his behind. The doctor then hands him a second dose and tells him to do the same thing in six hours. So, the man goes home and later that evening tries to get the second suppository inserted, but he finds that he cannot reach himself properly to obtain the required depth. He calls his wife over and tells her what to do. The wife nods, puts one hand on his shoulder to steady him and with the other shoves the medicine home. Suddenly the man screams, "DAMN!" "What's the matter?", asked the wife, "Did I hurt you?" "No," replies the man. "But I just realized that when the doctor did that, he had BOTH hands on my shoulder." Doctor: "How's your sex life?" Patient: "Infrequent" Doctor: "Is that one word or two?" How can you tell a head nurse? She's the one with dirty knees. Why should you watch your ass in the hospital? It's enema territory. Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"? NURSES A needle in the butt, A tube down a nose Some poopy in a pan And so our day goes. A rich businessman's wife broke her hip. The businessman got the best bone surgeon in town to do the operation. The operation basically consisted of lining up the broken hip and putting in a screw to secure it. The operation went fine, and the doctor sent the business man a fee for his services of $5000. The businessman was outraged at the cost, and sent the doctor a letter demanding an itemized list of the costs. The doctor sent back a list with two things: 1 screw $ 1.00 Knowing how to put it in $4999.00 $5000.00 total An eminent heart specialist was at a glittering social function and was in animated conversations with a lovely young thing wearing a great deal of makeup and the barest minimum of clothing. It was only a few minutes too late that the good doctor became aware that his wife, whom he thought was safely in the next room, was watching him with a steely glare. Clearing his throat, the doctor said, "Ah, my dear, that young lady over there and I were just indulging in a purely professional consultation." "So I can well imagine," said his wife icily, "but was it your profession, or hers?" A guy's working at the lumber yard, pushing a tree through the buzz saw, and accidentally shears off all ten of his fingers. He goes to the Emergency Room. The doctor's says, "Yuk! Well, give me the fingers, and I'll see what I can do." The guy says, "I haven't got the fingers." The doctor says, "What do you mean, 'you haven't got the fingers'? It's th 1990's. We've got microsurgery and all kinds of incredible techniques. I could have put them back on and made you like new. Why didn't you bring the fingers?" He says, "Well, heck, Doc, I couldn't pick 'em up." The doctor's new secretary was puzzled by an entry in the doctor's notes on an emergency case, "Shot in the lumbar region," it read. After a moment she typed in the record, "Shot in the woods." TOP TEN SIGNS YOU'VE GONE TO A BAD CHIROPRACTOR 10. Rushes in late for appointment, still wearing his Burger King uniform. 9. You have to push aside dirty dinner plates in order to lie down on the examination table 8. Spends hours pushing toy cars up and down your back and making "vroom" sound 7.

"Someone call the janitor - we're going to need a mop." "Accept this sacrifice, O Great Lord of Darkness" "Bo! Bo! Come back with that! Bad Dog!" "Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?" "Hand me that...uh...that uh.....thingie." "Oh no! I just lost my Rolex." "Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?" "Damn, there go the lights again...." "Ya know, there's big money in kidneys. Hell, the guy's got two of them." "What do you mean you want a divorce?" |
