Embarrasing Medical Moments
Happy Monday All! Something to make you smile………
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.

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.

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.

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.

These are great! Just what I needed on a Monday afternoon!
Glad I could help with a smile on a Monday. We all need one I’m sure!
I must admit #4 sounds all too familiar!
LOL
LOL! Those are funny.
My husband is a nurse and there are certainly some crazy things that happen in the medical field!
Yes there are!
“massive internal fart”
That would be my family! ANYTHING with “Fart” in it is simply hilarious.
So true
And again I am just laughing out loud. This kind of stuff is hilarious. Although, I have to admit it all seems such a common mistake, anyone can make. Except for the first one maybe
How embarrising must that be?
Then again, a massive internal fart? lol. Sounds like a way my farting little brother could die. Hehe
The most innocent of mistakes often make for the best entertainment!
It’s sleepy time at work for me. I needed this laugh.
Thanks.
You’re very welcome
LOL @ #1!
LMAO! My dad’s brother was born in a can on the way to the hospital. Therefore I think #1 is the funniest.
I only wish I was there to witness it! That would’ve bee hilarious. Can you imagine what the woman was thinking?
