The
doctor explained to his patient that she suffered
from cervicitis or inflammation of
the cervix. Concerned, she demanded that he test her husband for it too. The
doctor assured her, “I’m positive your husband does not have cervicitis.” She shot back, “How do you
know? You haven’t examined him yet.
My
patient announced she had good news and bad. “The
medicine for my earache worked,” she said. “What is the bad news?” I asked. “It
tasted awful.” Since she was feeling better, I didn’t have the heart to tell
her they’re called ear drops for a reason.
The
day after I had surgery on my leg, a nurse came
into my hospital room with a box in her hand, “ Are you ready for this?” “What
is it?” I asked. “Fleet enema. Didn’t
your doctor tell you about it?” “No.” She rechecked the orders, “Whoa!” she
bellowed. “That didn’t say Fleet enema.
It said feet elevated!”
