EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXAMS


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.

Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Francisco



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.

Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle , WA


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.'

Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg



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.

Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk , VA


5. 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.'

Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson- Corvallis , OR


6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a man I asked . . .' So how's your breakfast this morning?' '

It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste.'. . . Bob replied.

I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labeled 'KY Jelly.'

Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI


7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety

of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered . . . It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was

scheduled for immediate surgery.. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had

been dyed green and above it there was a tattoo that read . .. .' Keep off the grass.'

Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said 'Sorry . . . had to mow the lawn.'

Submitted by RN no name


AND FINALLY!! ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams... To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly.

The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me.

I looked up from my work and sheepishly said. . . ' I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?'

She replied with tears running down her cheeks from laughing so hard . . . ' No doctor but the song you were whistling was . . . ' I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener.' '

Dr. wouldn't submit his name....

You Got The Wrong(est)
Morgue | Orlando, FL, USA

Me: “Hello, how may I help you?”

Customer: “Can I speak to the butcher department, please?”

Me: “The butcher department?”

Customer: “Yeah, I decided I don’t want the big turkey any more.”

Me: “Uh, ma’am, this is the city morgue.”

If that was 30 years old, it coulda been my wife desperate to find a hit man.

Yeah, my wife, she was a winner. Her name was Gloria. I went and got her name tattooed on my chest. When I showed it to her, she says, "So, who's LORI?"

So, what is it with you guys, anyway? Yuri and I take a couple days off and the place dies like Ellen de Generis at a Tea Party rally. "Good night, gentlemen." Haven't heard that much humor since T gave us his opinion on women's hallowe'en costumes.

But, hey, did I tell ya I thought I saw Ringo Starr in the hotel lobby the other night? Yeah, so I walked up to him and I sez, "Hi, Ringo." He sez, "Not Ringo, Ahmadinejad." I sez, "Really? I'm on a dinner job, too. So, whaddaya do? Standup or piano bar?"





Yeah, that whole conservative rebellion thing. It kinda gets in your system, ya know? Today, I got caught out in the rain with no coat on, so I ducked into a store. Lady at the register says, "How can you stand to be out in this weather in short sleeves?" I said, "Hey! I got a constitutional right to bare arms!"

I suppose you think you're gonna endear yourself to my highly sophistemicated and edumacated self with oblique references to the solution to the Sphinx's riddle, O creature from a planet with two moons that look like dog nuts.

Man, here's my bro Scott tryin' to squeeze laughs out of morgue humor. It's enough to spin Vincent Price around in his grave like a supermarket broasted chicken on a spit.

Did you know you can get 180 bushels of corn from an acre of farmland in Iowa?


Of course to get this kind of yield you must inject anhydrous ammonia directly into the soil about 2 months prior to planting the corn


I cant imagine how that would make the corn taste any better.....

We're talking field corn here, oh great commentator on matters agricultural. You know. Gasohol. Livestock feed. Corn meal. You can't eat that stuff unless they grind it up and process it or feed it to something that can become meat or crank out eggs or milk.

Growing up in a place like Iowa gives you a pretty hard, gritty view of those waves of grain, amber or otherwise...



From the documentary you are right. The stuff is also turned into.........Corn Syrup

Pas got to this one first, but it's a requirement for growth for good 'ole yellow dent #2 field corn. It doesn't affect taste because this corn is largely livestock feed, ethanol fodder or ground for use in ingredients. It's not your (fictitious) great grandfather's sweet corn sold by the road side stand that you would eat off the cob. Field corn tastes like pasty drek.

In the 1940s, they were thrilled to be getting a yield of 50 bushels/acre. It's a freakin' miracle of science that we can feed so many more on so little land.



Without the anhydrous ammonia the yield would go back to 50 bushels an acre.

How does the process differ for corn intended for human consumption?


You are consuming it, just not as sweet corn........

Ok, Pas already responded with an answer better than mine.
