A little medical humor...?
If you’ve frequented doctors’ offices, you may have found (as I have) that most doctors are pretty funny. In fact, I’ve found within to be an inverse relationship between the price of the office visit and the comedic strength of a doctor’s conversation the more you pay, the funnier (s)he get … and vice versa.
So here goes
Woman in room 219
A woman telephoned Memorial Hospital, and kindly asked: “Hello, can I please speak to someone to find out how a patient is doing?”
The nurse she was transferred to replied, “I’d be happy to assist, what’s the patient’s name and room?”
Woman: “Thank you dear, her name is Anna Decker, room 219.”
Nurse: “I have wonderful word for you then! She is doing very well, her blood audition came back normal, her heart is fine, and her doctor said she’ll probably be capable of go home on Tuesday.”
Woman: “What a relief, thanks for the information!”
Nurse: “Of course, would you approaching to come in visit Anna, is she your sister?”
Woman: “No, I’m Anna Decker in 219 … nobody tell me squat!”
