Medical Student's Exam

The medical student was asked four reasons why mother's milk was better for babies than cow's milk. This is the answer he submitted:

  1. It's fresher.
  2. It's cleaner.
  3. The cats can't get to it.
  4. It's easier to take on a picnic.

He also added: "It comes in such cute containers."

Bad News First

- Give me the bad news first.

- You've got AIDS.

- Oh, no! What could be worse than that?

- You've also got Alzheimer's Disease.

- Oh. Well, that's not so bad. At least I don't have AIDS.

Bad News And Good News

Harry answers the telephone, and it's an Emergency Room doctor.

The doctor says, "Your wife was in a serious car accident, and I have bad news and good news. The bad news is she has lost all use of both arms and both legs, and will need help eating and going to the bathroom for the rest of her life."

Harry says, "My God. What's the good news?"

The doctor says, "I'm kidding. She's dead."

Lug Nuts

Jones is driving past the state mental hospital when his left rear tire suffers a flat. While Jones is changing the tire, another car goes by, running over the hub cap in which Jones was keeping the lug nuts. The nuts are all knocked into a nearby storm drain. Jones is at a loss for what to do and is about to go call a cab when he hears a shout from behind the hospital fence, where one of the inmates has been watching the whole thing. "Hey, pal! Why don't you just take one lug nut off each of the other three wheels? That'll hold your tires on until you can get to a garage or something." Jones is startled by the patient's seeming rationality, but realizes the plan will work, and installs the spare tire without incident.

Before he leaves, he calls back to the patient. "You know, that was pretty sharp thinking. Why do they have you in there?" The patient smiles and says, "I'm in here because I'm crazy, not because I'm stupid."

Gynecologists At Lunch

Two gynecologists meet at lunch.

The first one says, "I had a patient this morning with a clit like a dill pickle."

The second one says, "That big or that green?"

The first one says, "That Sour."

Soundless Farts

An old woman came into her doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. "I fart all the time, Doctor Johnson, but they're soundless, and they have no odor. In fact, since I've been here, I've farted no less than twenty times. What can I do?"

"Here's a prescription, Mrs. Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week."

Next week an upset Mrs. Harris marched into Dr. Johnson's office. "Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm farting just as much, but now they smell terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Calm down, Mrs. Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your hearing."

Patient Chart Blunders

The following statements were found on patient's charts during a recent review of medical records. These statements were written by various health care professionals including (we're afraid) a doctor or two at several major hospitals:

  • "The lab test indicated abnormal lover function."
  • "Exam of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized."
  • "The skin was moist and dry."
  • "The patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch."
  • "She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until 1989 when she got a divorce."
  • "The patient was in his usual state of good health until his airplane ran out of gas and crashed."
  • "I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy."
  • "The patient lives at home with his mother, father, and pet turtle, who is presently enrolled in day care three times a week."
  • "Bleeding started in the rectal area and continued all the way to Los Angeles."
  • "Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation."
  • "She is numb from her toes down."
  • "Exam of genitalia was completely negative except for the right foot."
  • "While in the emergency room, she was examined, X-rated and sent home. The patient was to have a bowel resection. However, he took a job as stockbroker instead."
  • "When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room."
  • "Examination reveals a well-developed male lying in bed with his family in no distress."
