Friday Wisdom – Doctors

Posted on 02/23/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

It’s time for my regular doctor visits and today I had my blood tests (yes, I have blood) so here’s everything I know about the medical world:

The doctor said that jogging could add years to my life. So I started jogging and she’s right, I feel ten years older already.

My doctor sent me to get a memory test. They make you pay in advance.

The other day someone asked me if I was seeing anyone. I think he talking about a psychiatrist.

My doctor’s office says that they have two doctors on site at all times — that’s a pair a docs.

Words you don’t want to hear from your surgeon after surgery: Where’s my watch.

My doctor always seems calm, well she has lots of patients.

The best place to hide from a doctor is in an apple orchard.

You can’t play hide and seek in a hospital — they’ll always find you in the ICU.

My doctor said you can hear the blood in your veins if you listen varicosely.

If you feet smell and your nose runs, you’re built upside down.

I told the doctor that I hear a constant ringing. He said I should answer my phone.

    I love the thought of being built upside down. I think it explains a lot! Thx, Andrew. Getting older so see doctors more. Need a sense of humor!
