Doctors at a hospital in Brooklyn, New York have gone on strike!
Hospital officials say they will find out what the doctors’ demands are as soon as they can get a pharmacist over there to read the picket signs.
Eye Surgery.
Working in an ophthalmology practice that specializes in LASIK surgery, the doctor expected to comfort nervous patients. But prior to one operation, the patient was so nervous she was actually shaking.
Nothing the doctor said to her would comfort her so after the doctor finished on the first eye and before he began on the second he wanted her to know the surgery was going well.
There, he said, patting her hand reassuringly, “Now you only have one eye left.”
A well-respected surgeon was relaxing on his sofa one evening just after arriving home from work.
As he was tuning into the evening news, the phone rang. The doctor calmly answered it and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line.
“We need a fourth for poker,” said the friend.
“I’ll be right over,” whispered the doctor.
As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, “Is it serious?”
“Oh yes, quite serious,” said the doctor gravely. “In fact, three doctors are there already!”
A man went to his doctor.
When the doctor entered the examining room, the man cried, “My hair is falling out! Can you give me something to keep it in?”
“Of course,” said the doctor reassuringly, and he handed the man a small box.
“Will this be big enough?”
Hell in a cell
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
“Well!” said the Director. “We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand!” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No.” said the Director. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a room with or without a view?”
