1.  This was forwarded by a friend:

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 his eyes covered.  I was laughing too hard to finish the exam!

 

2. 

Talk about miscommunication!


During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he
informed his doctor that he was having trouble with one of his medications.
"Which one?", asked the doctor. "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!"
The doctor had him quickly undress and discovered what he hoped he 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!

I am glad this guy is not a paramedic!

 

A couple of guys are out in the woods hunting when one of them
suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head.  The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 9-1-1.

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, " Just take it easy and follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is silence....and then BANG!  A shot is heard.

The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo) is not
just an athlete, she is a nurse. She currently works at the Intensive
Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to
answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too much  confusion
when she would answer the phone and say, Picabo, ICU.

There's nothing worse than a snotty doctor's receptionist who
insists  you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other  patients.  I know most of us have experienced this.  You got  to love the way this old guy handled it.

An 86 year old man walked into a crowded doctor's  office.  As he

approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir,  what are you

seeing the doctor for today?" "There's something wrong with my  penis," he  replied.

he receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come  into

a crowded office and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.  The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in this room full people. You should have said there is something wrong with

your ear  or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor  in private.

"The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room full  of

others, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out,

waited several minutes and then  re-entered. The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The  receptionist

nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.  "And what is

wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't urinate out of it," the man replied. The doctor's office

erupted in laughter.

Jim was an old man. He was sick and in the hospital.

There was one young nurse that just drove him crazy.


Every time she came in, she would talk to him like he

was a little child. She would say in a patronizing tone of

voice, "And how are we doing this morning, or are we

ready for a bath, or are we hungry?"


Old Jim had had enough of this particular nurse. One

day, Old Jim had breakfast, pulled the juice off the tray,

and put it on his bed side stand. He had been given a urine

bottle to fill for testing.


The juice was apple juice. So .. you know where the juice

went! The nurse came in a little later, picked up the urine

bottle and looked at it. "My, but it seems we are a little

cloudy today ."


At this, Old Jim snatched the bottle out of her hand,

popped off the top, and drank it down, saying, "Well, I'll run

it through again. Maybe I can filter it better this time."


The nurse fainted! . . Old Jim just smiled!


 


 

 

A man goes to his doctor and says, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?"

The doctor replies, "Try this test to find out for sure. When your wife is in the kitchen doing dishes, stand 15 feet behind her and ask her a question, if she doesn't respond keep moving closer and asking the question until she hears you."

The man goes home and sees his wife preparing dinner. He stands 15 feet behind her and says, "What's for dinner, honey?" He gets no response, so he moves to 10 feet behind her and asks again. Still no response, so he moves to five feet--still no answer. Finally he stands directly behind her and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

She replies, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN!"

A List of Things You Don't Want to Hear During Surgery:

bulletOops!
bulletHas anyone seen my watch?
bulletCome back with that! Bad Dog!
bulletWait a minute. If this is his spleen, then what's that?
bulletHand me that ... uh ... that uh ... thingy
bulletThere go the lights again ...
bulletEverybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
bulletWell folks, this will be an experiment for all of us.
bulletWhat do you mean, he's not insured?
bulletFIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out!

A man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me."

"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy."

"OK," said the man. "Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife."

Three elderly men are at the doctor's office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, "What is three times three?"

"274" is his reply.

The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?"

"Tuesday," replies the second man.

The doctor shakes his head sadly then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?"

"Nine," says the third man.

"That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get that?"

"Simple," he says, "just subtract 274 from Tuesday."

A woman went for her medical exam. After about 15 minutes with one of the new doctors, she went screaming down the hall. Another doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was and she explained.

The second doctor went back to the first and said, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old. She has four grown children and seven grandchildren and you told her she was pregnant?"

The new doctor simply smiled and said, "Cured her hiccups though, didn't it?"
