REAL DOCTOR STORIES

A man comes into the Hospital's E.R. 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 quickly take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs, and 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 feet 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 Villanus, 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 Missouri and asked, "So how's your
breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for that 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

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
