Recommended Posts

Hi, All these stories were passed on from real Doctors all around the country (borrowed from another site)

 

1. A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells . . . 'My wife's going to

have her baby in the taxi'.

 

I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and

began to take off her underwear. Suddenly after protests from the

lady I noticed that there were several taxis - - - and I was in the

wrong one.

 

Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald , St.. Andrews Hosp. Glasgow

 

 

2. 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,'. . . replied the patient..

 

Submitted by Dr. Richard Barnes , St.Thomas's Bath

 

 

3 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 on her mobile phone reporting to the

rest of the family that he had died of a 'massive internal fart.'

 

Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg Royal London Hosp.

 

 

4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me 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 includes removal of the old patch before

applying a new one.

5. 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 still alive.'

 

Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson- Maidenhead Royal Kent

 

 

6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while

checking up on a man I asked . . ... 'So how was your breakfast this

morning?'

 

'It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get

used to the taste.' Bob replied.

 

I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labeled

'KY Jelly.'

 

Submitted by Dr. Leonard J. Brandon . Bristol Infirmary.

 

 

7. A nurse was on duty in the A&E 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 an

immediate operation..

 

When she was completely disrobed 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 read 'Sorry . . . had to mow the lawn.'

 

Submitted by Staff Nurse RN Elaine Fogerty , KGH London

 

Dr. wouldn't submit his name

Nice one Bob

 

A friend of mine was a Prison Officer at Dartmoor Prison. ( True story)

He escorted a prisoner to the Royal Eye Infirmary

They went in on the ground floor, entered the examination room where they removed his handcuffs.

He threw himself through the window in an attempt to escape, not knowing the rear of the room was 2 floors above ground level, fell & broke an arm & a leg

Trip to A&E

 

Another time he took a guy to Hospital after inserting a coke bottle in his rear & loosing it

Hope the can opener top was off it
