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.

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and

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

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 h is 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 manhad over fifty patches
on his body! Now the instructions include removal of the old patch before
applying a new one.

I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So, how's your breakfast

jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

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 Oscar Meyer Wiener."
