Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a
manner of traveling.

One Quiet Moment
Ah, Fun Reasons I'm Glad I'm Not a Doctor!!!
1. A man comes into
the ER 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 take off her
underwear.
Suddenly I noticed
that there were several cabs and I was in the wrong one.

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.

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

4. 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.
