Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 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 Mac, San , TX 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, " remorsefully replied the patient. Dr. 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. Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada 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. St. Clair, Norfolk, VA 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. 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 Meyer Wiener'. " ~ " We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere. " ~ ~ " If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.
