CLINIC JOKES

  • A cardiothoracic surgeon is married to a neurosurgeon for many years but childless. They sought help at the fertility clinic. The problem was soon identified: they are so busy that the only time they meet each other is at the fertility clinic.
  • A trauma surgeon had been so busy in the hospital all this while, trying to save lives even in wee hours of the morning, that he did not know what to do after retirement. He was heard saying this to an ex-colleague: it's only me & my wife at home, I really don't know what to do.

IT’S WRITTEN ON YOUR FOREHEAD

It's my habit to browse through patients' files to get a rough idea of their background, illness and latest blood tests or imaging studies, before calling them in to the consultation room. This is my encounter with a patient whom I saw for the first time:
Patient: (entering the consultation room) Good morning, doctor...
Doctor: Good morning, teacher...(smile)
Patient: (shocked & turned pale) How do you know I'm a teacher?
Doctor: It's stated in your file..
Patient: (so relieved) Ohh...I thought I have the "teacher look"
Doctor: (LOL)
