"Doctor, please
hurry. My son swallowed a razor-blade."
"Don't panic, I'm coming immediately. Have you done anything yet ?"
"Yea, I shaved with the electric razor."
"Doctor,
Doctor, You've got to help me - I just can't stop my hands shaking!"
"Do you drink a lot?"
"Not really - I spill most of it!"
"Doctor,
doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?"
"Yes, of course.."
"Great! I never could before!"
A man
speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her
contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor queries.
"No, you idiot !" the man shouts. "This is her husband
!"
The surgeon
told his patient that woke up after having been operated: "I'm afraid
we're going to have to operate you again. Because, you see, I forgot my
rubber gloves inside you."
"Well, if it's
just because of them, I'd rather pay for them if you just leave me
alone."
A doctor and
his wife were having a big argument at breakfast.
"You aren't so good in bed either!" he shouted and stormed off to work.
By midmorning, he decided he'd better make amends and phoned home.
After many rings, his wife picked up the phone.
"What took you so long to answer?"
"I was in bed."
"What were you doing in bed this late?"
"Getting a second opinion."
Doctor: I have
some bad news and some very bad news.
Patient: Well, might as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24
hours to live.
Patient: 24 HOURS! That's terrible!! WHAT could be WORSE? What's the
very bad news?
Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
A man goes to
his doctor for a complete checkup. He hasn't been feeling well and
wants to find out if he's ill. After the checkup the doctor comes out
with the results of the examination.
"I'm afraid I
have some bad news. You're dying and you don't have much time," the
doctor says.
"Oh no, that's
terrible. How long have I got?" the man asks.
"10..." says
the doctor.
"10? 10 what?
Months? Weeks? What?!" he asks desperately.
"10...9...8...7..."
Doctor: "I've
got very bad news - you've got cancer and Alzheimer's"
Patient: "Well, at least I don't have cancer"
A man walks
into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his
left ear and a banana in his right ear.
"What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor.
The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."
   
A young woman
went to her doctor complaining of pain.
"Where are you hurting?" asked the doctor.
"You have to help me, I hurt all over", said the woman.
"What do you mean, all over?" asked the doctor, "be a little more
specific."
The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow,
that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch!
That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe, "Ow, even THAT
hurts", she cried.
The doctor checked her thoughtfully for a moment and told her his
diagnosis, "You have a broken finger."
A baseball
manager who had an ulcer was in his physician office for a checkup.
"Remember," the doctor said, "don't get excited, don't get mad, and
forget about baseball when you're off the field." Then he added, "By
the way, how come you let the pitcher bat yesterday with the tying run
on second and two men out in the ninth?"
"Doctor, are
you sure I'm suffering from pneumonia? I've heard once about a doctor
treating someone with pneumonia and finally he died of typhus."
"Don't worry, it won't happen to me. If I treat someone with pneumonia
he will die of pneumonia."
A man went to
see his doctor because he was suffering from a miserable cold. His
doctor prescribed some pills, but they didn't help.
On his next
visit the doctor gave him a shot, but that didn't do any good.
On his third
visit the doctor told the man, "Go home and take a hot bath. As soon as
you finish bathing throw open all the windows and stand in the draft."
"But doc,"
protested the patient, "if I do that, I'll get pneumonia."
"I know," said
the doctor, "I can cure pneumonia."
A guy walks
into work, and both of his ears are all bandaged up. The boss says,
"What happened to your ears?"
He says, "Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and shhh!
I accidentally answered the iron."
The boss says, "Well, that explains one ear, but what happened to your
other ear?"
He says, "Well, jeez, I had to call the doctor!"
A SHORT HISTORY
OF MEDICINE: "Doctor, I have an ear ache."
2000 B.C. - "Here, eat this root."
1000 B.C. - "That root is heathen, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. - "That prayer is superstition, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. - "That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. - "That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic."
2000 A.D. - "That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!"
A pipe burst in
a doctor's house. He called a plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked
his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed
the doctor a bill for $600.
The doctor exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much
as a doctor!."
The plumber quietly answered, "Neither did I when I was a doctor."
A doctor said
to his car mechanic, "Your debit is several times more per hour then we
get paid for medical care."
"Yeah, but you see, doc, you have always the same model, it hasn't
changed since Adam; but we have to keep up to date with new models
coming every year."
The seven-year
old girl told her mom, "A boy in my class asked me to play doctor."
"Oh, dear," the mother nervously sighed. "What happened, honey?"
"Nothing, he made me wait 45 minutes and then double-billed the
insurance company."
"The doctor
said he would have me on my feet in two weeks."
"And did he?"
"Yes, I had to sell the car to pay the bill."
A fellow walked
into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told
him to have a seat.
A few minutes
later a nurse's aid came out and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and
told him to wait in the examining room.
Ten minutes
later a nurse came in and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an
electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for
the doctor.
Fifteen minutes
later the doctor came in and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
The doctor said, "Where?"
He said, "Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?"
A woman,
calling Mount Sinai Hospital, said, "Hello, I want to know if a patient
is getting better."
The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is the patient's
name and room number?"
She said, "Yes, darling! She's Sarah Finkel, in Room 302."
He said, "Oh, yes. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had
two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, she's going to be taken off
the heart monitor in a couple of hours and if she continues this
improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday."
The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! Oh! That's fantastic!
That's wonderful news!"
The man on the phone said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be
a close family member or a very close friend!"
She said, "I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Cohen, my doctor, doesn't tell me a
word!"
An old fellow came into the hospital truly on death's door due to an
infected gallbladder. The surgeon who removed the gallbladder was
adamant that his patients be up and walking in the hall the day after
surgery, to help prevent blood clots forming in the leg veins. The
nurses walked the patient in the hall as ordered, and after the third
day the nurse told how he complained bitterly each time they did. The
surgeon told them to keep walking him.
After a week,
the patient was ready to go. His family came to pick him up and thanked
the surgeon profusely for what he had done for their father. The
surgeon was pleased and appreciated the thanks, but told them that it
was really a simple operation and we had been lucky to get him in time.
"But doctor, you don't understand," they said, "Dad hasn't walked in
over a year!"
If
it is dry - add moist; if it is moisten - add dryness. Congratulations,

Patient to the
eye doctor: "Whenever I drink coffee, I have this sharp, excruciating
pain."
"Try to
remember to remove the spoon from the cup before drinking."
A man goes to
the eye doctor. The receptionist asks him why he is there. The man
complains, "I keep seeing spots in front of my eyes."
The receptionist asks, "Have you ever seen a doctor?" and the man
replies, "No, just spots."
Patient:
I always see spots before my eyes.
Doctor: Didn't the new glasses help?
Patient: Sure, now I see the spots much clearer.
A veterinarian
was feeling ill and went to see her doctor. The doctor asked her all
the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring,
etc., when she interrupted him: "Hey look, I'm a vet -- I don't need to
ask my patients these kind of questions: I can tell what's wrong just
by looking. Why can't you?"
The doctor
nodded, looked her up and down, wrote out a prescription, and handed it
to her and said, "There you are. Of course, if that
doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down."
