True Medical Moments

[meat12]

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-I was in the wrong one.

Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX



At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and
slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.. "Big breaths," I
instructed. "Yes, they used to be," remorsed the patient

Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA


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 more than five
minutes
later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died
of a "massive internal fart."

Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada


I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test.
I placed the patient twenty fe et 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.

Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester, MA



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
man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include
removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA



While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long
have
you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered...
"Why, not for about twenty years-when my husband was alive."

Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR



I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So how's your
breakfast
this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't
seem
to get used to the taste," the patient replied. I then asked to see the
jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI



A Nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple
hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos,
and
wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the
patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate
surgery.
When she was completely disrob ed on the operating table, the staff
noticed
that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo
that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the
surgeon
wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said "Sorry, had to
mow
the lawn."



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 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'."
