As I have increased in age I find nomenclature is important. For example, what is the difference between Seniors and the Elderly. Seniors talk about their aches and pains. The Elderly talk about their operations and procedures. Even though I am a designated Operations Subspecialist, and have degrees and experience in operations, I don’t like to talk about them. I will make jokes about them, however.
Worst surgery I have ever had?
Easy. My circumcision. I couldn’t walk for a year.
Going into surgery I asked the doctor how long am I going
to be in the hospital??
He said, if all goes well, about three days... if it doesn't, about 30
minutes..
Remember when plastic surgery was a taboo
Now you mention Botox and no one rises an eyebrow
Right before surgery the surgeon says: "Relax, Jim.
It's just a small scalpel incision. No reason to panic."
The patient replies: "But, Doctor, my name is not
Jim." The surgeon says: "I know. I'm Jim."
I was really doubtful that the scoliosis surgery would
work.
But now I stand corrected
What’s the worst thing to hear during open heart surgery?
Anything
What's the worst place for a classical singer to get
surgery?
The opera-hating room!
Two different doctors worked together on my knee surgery
It was a joint operation
I had to pay hundreds of dollars for a stool sample test
before I had my surgery.
That shit was expensive.
There is a DIY surgery kit
It’s called Suture Self.
Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist offered to knock
me out with gas or a boat paddle...
It was an ether/oar situation.
A British man lost 100 pounds after an experimental
surgery
He was mugged on the way home
There's a support group for people addicted to plastic
surgery...
The head of the group walks in and says, "I'm seeing
a lot of new faces this week, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed."
A pirate (let’s call him Mike) walks into a doctor's
surgery.
"Avast, sawbones," he growls, "I wants ye
to look at the moles on me back. I think they might be of the cancerin'
kind."
The doctor has a look at the pirate's back.
"It's OK," he says, "they're benign."
"Arrr... look again," says the pirate, "I'm pretty sure there be
ten."
After an Eye Surgery
Doctor: The Surgery was a complete Success
The Patient: I see.
Doctor: We need to replace your eye. Normally we replace it with a glass ball, but
for you we have one made out of cedar. Would you like that instead?
Patient: Wood eye? wood eye? Of course!
Doctor – Your X-rays were negative.
Blonde – But I never dated anybody named Ray.
Doctor – I think we need a full brain scan.
I think something went wrong during my laser eye surgery.
I can see just fine, but I can't figure out how to shoot
the lasers
A man was having increasing problems with his vision and
went to the eye doctor. After a thorough
examination the doctor took him by the elbow and guided the man in his office
to discuss his eye condition.
The doctor asks if he wants the good news or bad news
first.
The man excitedly replies, "I'll take the good news first."
The surgeon tells him, “Well, you're about to get a new special dog."
An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting
surgery. He insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son. 'Yes, Dad,
what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and
your wife.'
A woman has sued her hospital, saying that after her
husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.
A hospital spokesman replied: "Your husband was admitted for cataract
surgery. All we did was correct his eyesight."
A man blind from birth hears about new surgery that can
give him sight. He goes to the doctor who tells him he can do the surgery. He
asks if being able to see will have any negative impacts on his life.
"Well," the doctor says. "You won't be able to maintain an
erection."
"Is that a common side effect from the surgery," the blind man
asks.
"No," says the doctor. "It's just that your wife is ugly."
A furious lady marches into the eye clinic's reception
area and shouts at the receptionist, "Who stole my wig during my eye
surgery yesterday?"
The doctor immediately rushes out to pacify her. "I
assure you, no one on my team would do such a thing. What makes you think it
was stolen?"
The woman replies, "Well, before the procedure, my wig was perfect, but
when I woke up, it was a tangled mess that made me look ugly and cheap."
"I think," says the surgeon gently, "this means your cataract
operation was a success."
A man went to the doctor about knee pain.
They X-rayed him and the doctor basically said, “You have bad knees. You’ll
need a knee replacement in your 50s or 60s”
The man asked if there was anything he
could do to avoid it,
“You could try
dying young.”
And in the end….
We had one woman come to the doctor complaining about
constipation. Going into her chart the doctor saw that she had been previously
given some suppositories to take, and in the triage note she said her meds
weren't working.
So the doc is asked her questions, making sure nothing else is wrong. Finally, they get to the part about the
meds.
She said "Well yeah, the pills I got last time were
huge! I have to break them in half to swallow them!"
