profitable that I want to fix it
before it cures itself.
Welllllll, what have we here... I have no idea and I'm hoping
you'll give me a clue.
Let me check your medical history. I want to see if you've paid your
last bill before spending any more
time with you.
Why don't we make another appointment I'm playing golf this afternoon,

you're going to pay for it.
Let's see how it develops. Maybe in a few days it will grow
into something that can be cured.
Let me schedule you for some tests. I have a forty percent interest
in the lab.
I'd like to have my associate look He's going through a messy

That's quite a nasty looking wound. I think I'm going to throw up.
This may smart a little. Last week two patients bit off
their tongues.
Well, we're not feeling so well I'm stalling for time. Who the

There is a lot of that going around. My God, that's the third one this
week. I'd better learn something
about this.
If those symptoms persist, call for I've never heard of anything so

A doctor had a problem with a leak in his bathroom plumbing
that became bigger and bigger. Even though it was 2 a.m., the
doctor decided to phone his plumber.
"For Pete's sake, Doc," he wailed, "this is some time to
wake a guy."
"Well," the doctor answered testily, "you've never hesitated
to call me in the middle of the night with a medical problem.
Now it just happens I've got a plumbing emergency."
There was a moment's silence. Then the plumber spoke up,
"Right you are, Doc," he agreed. "Tell me what's wrong."
The doctor explained about the leak in the bathroom.
"Tell you what to do," the plumber offered. "Take two
aspirins every four hours and drop them down the pipe. If the
leak hasn't cleared up by morning, phone me at the office."
A man who hasn't been feeling very well lately goes to his doctor
for a complete checkup. After the examination, the doctor comes out
with the results and says, "I'm afraid I have some bad news, You're
dying and you don't have much time."
"Oh no, that's terrible," says the man, "How long have I got?"
"Only about 10," says the doctor.
"10?! 10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!", he asks desperately.
The doctor looks at his watch and says, "9...8...7..."
Doctor: "Well, Joe, I have some bad news and some VERY bad news
for you."
Patient: "What is it, Doc?"
Doctor: "The bad news is you have only 24 hrs. to live."
Patient: "Oh doctor, that's terrible. What'll I do? And how could
anything be worse than that? What's the VERY bad news?"
Doctor: "Well, I'm afraid I tried all day yesterday to reach you."
Doctor, doctor, my wooden leg is giving me a lot of pain.
Why's that?
My wife keeps hitting me over the head with it.
Doctor, doctor, my hair's coming out. Can you give me something to
keep it in?
Certainly - how about a paper bag?
Doctor, doctor, people keep ignoring me.
Next, please!
Doctor, doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains.
Pull yourself together!
Doctor, doctor, I feel like a bridge.
What's come over you?
Two cars and a bus!
Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a spoon.
Sit there and don't stir.
Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a billiard ball.
Get back in the queue.
Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a pack of cards.
I'll deal with you later.
Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking there's two of me.
One at a time, please.
Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a dog.
Lie down on the couch and I'll examine you.
I can't. I'm not allowed on the furniture.
Doctor, doctor, I've lost my memory.
When did it happen?
When did what happen?
Doctor, doctor, my little boy's swallowed a bullet. What shall I do?
Well, for a start, don't point him at me.
Patient: Doctor, will you treat me?
Doctor: No. You have to pay like everyone else.
PATIENT: Doctor, I can't feel my legs!
DOCTOR: I know, we had to amputate your hands.
Doctor to patient: "How did those suppositories work out for you?"
"Well, Doc, for all the good those pills did for me, I could have
shoved them up my ass"
Why should you never ever use half a suppository?
You are supposed to shove one up your ass whole.
"Doctor, how long after surgery do I have to wait to have sex?"
"Geez, I don't know. Nobody has ever asked me that about a
tonsillectomy."
The patient shook his doctor's hand in gratitude and said,
"Since we are the best of friends, I would not want to insult
you by offering payment. But I would like for you to know
that I had mentioned you in my will."
"That is very kind of you," said the doctor emotionally, and
then added, "Can I see that prescription I just gave you? I'd
like to make a little change..."
Regarding extra billing ny Ontario doctors...
I guess that would make them all plastic surgeons
As in "Will that be Visa or Mastercard?"
"During my operation, Nurse, I heard the surgeon use a
four-letter word that upset me very much", said the patient.
What word was that?, queried the Nurse?
"Oops!"
A man walks into a doctors office and puts a note on the table
in front of the doctor.
The note says, 'I can't talk, help me!'.
The doctor thinks for a while and says to the man, 'Put your
dick on the table here.'
The man thinks this is a bit weird but does as the doctor said
anyway. The doctor takes a rubber hammer (which is usually used
to test someone's reflexes) and hits the poor man's dick with it
as hard as he can.
The man cries in great agony: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....'
The doctor just says, 'Come again tomorrow and we'll learn B!'
When the young career girl consulted a doctor about her diminishing
sexuality, she was given a hormone shot and told to call back in a
week.
"Doctor," she screamed over the phone the next week, "my voice has
become terribly low."
"That's not too unusual," replied the doctor. "Have you had any
other reactions?"
"Yes," she moaned. "I've sprouted hair on my chest."
"My goodness," the doctor gasped, "how far down does it go?"
"All the way to my testicles" she replied.
Patient: Doctor, you've got to help me. Every night I get the
uncontrollable urge to go downstairs and stick my dick
into the biscuit tin. Do you know what's wrong with me?
Doctor: Yes...you're fucking crackers.
A man took his girlfriend to see the doctor because she had been
suffering chest pains. The doctor examined her and then asked her
to step outside while he spoke to her boyfriend alone.
"Well sir, your girlfriend has acute angina", said the Doctor.
"Yeah! And her tits are pretty good as well!"
A woman belts into the doctors office, followed by her 5 year
old son.
Woman: Doctor, Doctor, My William has just swallowed a roll of film.
Doctor: Calm down...Now William you go a sit over there.
Woman: What are you doing?
Doctor: Sit here with me and we'll see what develops.
Tom says, "I think I've got hemorrhoids."
Bill asks, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"No, I'm too embarrassed."
"Well, try this old country remedy. Wash your anus in lukewarm
tea. It worked for my dad."
Tom follows Bill's suggestion, but gets no relief, and finally
sees a doctor, who examines him and says, "First, you have indeed
got hemorrhoids. Second, you will shortly be going on a long
journey."
The doctor had just been buried. The last words of the service
over, his friends and family started toward their cars. However,
they stopped because a strange, eerie sound suddenly was heard
from the grave. As the guests looked around, a colleague of the
deceased said, "It's nothing...just his beeper."
A lady hears that the local drug store is featuring a mind-reading
druggist. She can't believe it. She goes down to the store, and sure
enough, there's a sign in the window: Mind-reading druggist.
As she walks in, the druggist says, "You're here for
suppositories, right?"
"Nope, I'm here for tampons."
"Well, I didn't miss by much, did I?"
A man slumps into the doctor's office with a fried egg hanging
out of one ear, baked beans dripping out of the other, french fries
jammed up his nose, bits of hamburger oozing from one eye, meringue
trickling from the other.
"I feel awful, Doc," he complains.
The doc examines him and finds more foodstuffs in navel, anus and
penis.
He pronounces his diagnosis, "I think your problem is that you're
not eating properly!"
I like to tell the story about how busy my doctor is whenever
I visit him. One day, after a brisk three minute examination, he
grabs up a prescription pad and pulls a rectal thermometer out
of his breast pocket.
"Doc," I interrupted, "I hate to tell you how to do your job,
but you're writing my prescription with a rectal thermometer.
He looked down in horror and exclaimed, "Oh, my God. That means
some asshole's got my pen!"
It was a quiet night and the nurses were sitting around the
central work area drinking coffee and eating doughnuts. The
doctor went to see the lone patient who had come in for rectal
bleeding. The doctor's job was to put his finger up the patient's
fanny and get some stool on the tip of his rubber glove, then
smear a sample of the stool onto a testing card to see if it
contained blood. He put on his rubber glove, disappeared into
the patient's room, smeared chocolate frosting onto the gloved
fingertip, returned to the central work area, sat down with
the nurses, and licked off the tip of his brown-tipped finger.
"Tastes like blood, all right," he announced.
A doctor told a female patient, "I want you to avoid sex with
your husband for 3 weeks.
The woman answered, "No problem, I have a boyfriend."
A man with a bad stomach complaint goes to his doctor and asks
him what he can do. The doctor replies that the illness is quite
serious but can be cured by inserting a suppository up his anal
passage.
The man agrees, and so the doctor warns him of the pain, tells
him to bend over and shoves the thing way up his behind. The
doctor then hands him a second dose and tells him to do the
same thing in six hours.
So, the man goes home and later that evening tries to get the
second suppository inserted, but he finds that he cannot reach
himself properly to obtain the required depth. He calls his
wife over and tells her what to do.
The wife nods, puts one hand on his shoulder to steady him
and with the other shoves the medicine home.
Suddenly the man screams, "DAMN!"
"What's the matter?", asked the wife, "Did I hurt you?"
"No," replies the man. "But I just realized that when the
doctor did that, he had BOTH hands on my shoulder."
Doctor: "How's your sex life?"
Patient: "Infrequent"
Doctor: "Is that one word or two?"
How can you tell a head nurse?
She's the one with dirty knees.
Why should you watch your ass in the hospital?
It's enema territory.
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
NURSES
A needle in the butt,
A tube down a nose

And so our day goes.
A rich businessman's wife broke her hip. The businessman got
the best bone surgeon in town to do the operation. The operation
basically consisted of lining up the broken hip and putting in a
screw to secure it.
The operation went fine, and the doctor sent the business man
a fee for his services of $5000. The businessman was outraged at
the cost, and sent the doctor a letter demanding an itemized list
of the costs.
The doctor sent back a list with two things:
1 screw $ 1.00
Knowing how to put it in $4999.00
$5000.00 total
An eminent heart specialist was at a glittering social function
and was in animated conversations with a lovely young thing wearing
a great deal of makeup and the barest minimum of clothing. It was
only a few minutes too late that the good doctor became aware that
his wife, whom he thought was safely in the next room, was watching
him with a steely glare.
Clearing his throat, the doctor said, "Ah, my dear, that young
lady over there and I were just indulging in a purely professional
consultation."
"So I can well imagine," said his wife icily, "but was it your
profession, or hers?"
A guy's working at the lumber yard, pushing a tree through the
buzz saw, and accidentally shears off all ten of his fingers.
He goes to the Emergency Room.
The doctor's says, "Yuk! Well, give me the fingers, and I'll
see what I can do."
The guy says, "I haven't got the fingers."
The doctor says, "What do you mean, 'you haven't got the fingers'?
It's th 1990's. We've got microsurgery and all kinds of incredible
techniques. I could have put them back on and made you like new.
Why didn't you bring the fingers?"
He says, "Well, heck, Doc, I couldn't pick 'em up."
The doctor's new secretary was puzzled by an entry in the
doctor's notes on an emergency case, "Shot in the lumbar region,"
it read.
After a moment she typed in the record, "Shot in the woods."
