A doctor gave this collection to me years ago. Enjoy.
[SIZE=12pt]A man came into the ER and yelled, "My wife's going to have her baby[/SIZE]
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.

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," remorsed the patient.

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."

I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity
test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began,
"Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line
perfectly. "Now your left." Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I
requested. There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E on
the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what
I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was
laughing too hard to finish the exam.

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.

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."

I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and 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" the patient
replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil
packet labelled "KY Jelly."
