Friday Wisdom – Hospitals

I’m not really here today as I had to drive to visit my brother in the hospital. Hopefully he’ll be going home soon. Until I get back here’s what I know about hospitals and doctors:

I have this great joke about amnesia, but I don’t remember it.

I’ve read that 8 out of 10 injections are in vein.

My brothers and I tried playing hide and seek in the hospital. Wasn’t that much fun, they kept finding us in the ICU.

I heard about a guy in medical school who made so many rash decisions that they made him a dermatologist.

My friend was going to the hospital today. He thinks he has, pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but it’s hard to say.

I went to the doctor once and said, “It hurts when I touch my face, my neck, my chest, my leg, …” The doctor replied, “Yes, you have a broken finger.”

I asked the doctor if he could give me something for my liver. He gave me half a pound of onions.

The radiologist was laughing at the X-ray of my arm. She found it humerus.

A mother took her young son to the the hospital after he swallowed some coins. They took him to get an X-ray and when he got back the mother asked he was doing. The nurse said, “No change yet.”

I was walking into the hospital and saw a sign saying, “Emergency Generator.” You’d think they’d have enough emergencies to start with.

A builder I know got a contract to renovate a hospital. He said he took the job because he thought it would be re-ward-ing …

Words you don’t want to hear a surgeon say, “Anyone seen my watch?”

In my therapy session I learned that I have an inferiority complex, but it’s not a very good one.

The doctor told us not to be concerned about the bird flu anymore as it is now tweetable.

    The collection you provided here were all good chucklers, then came the cliff hanger type long pause. Foreboding thoughts lead me to concern for the master of “the view of the week”. May the Lord bless you and keep you Andrew….

  3. Andrew, I hope your brother recovers quickly.
    When I walk our dog in the park near our house, there’s the cutest older gentleman that always asks if I have a joke, then proceeds to tell me his. I’m going to save this post and when I see him coming, knocks the socks off him! Ha! Thanks always for your good humor!

    I love how something happens in your life–driving someone to the airport, the hospital–and it leads to humor. You will live a long life of laughter, my friend.

    8 out of 10 injections are in vein, and the rest are a pain in the ass.
