Humor: Jan 16

Posted in humorTagged ,

Each of my dad’s humor notecards has a notation of when he used them, all part of his system to make sure he didn’t ruin the fun by repeating himself. This card of doctor notes shows that he used it several times for different sermons and classes. I can see why – they had me laughing out loud!

Doctor’s notes on patient’s charts (actual notes – unedited)

  1. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.
  2. On the 2nd day the knee was better and on the 3rd day it disappeared completely.
  3. She has had no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night.
  4. The patient has been depressed ever since she began seeing me in 1993.
  5. Discharge status: alive but without permission.
  6. The patient refused an autopsy.
  7. Patient has left his white blood cells at another hospital.
  8. Patient’s past medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight gain in the past three days.
  9. She is numb from her toes down.
  10. Patient was alert and unresponsive.
  11. She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life, until she got a divorce.
  12. I saw your patient today, who is still under our Car for physical therapy.
  13. The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.
  14. The patient was to have a bowel resection. However, he took a job as a stockbroker instead.
  15. Skin; somewhat pale but present.
  16. Patient was seen in consultation by Dr. Blank, who felt we should sit on the abdomen and I agree.
  17. Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities.

  1. Your dad truly could have been a comedian. I also think he would’ve done very well on Tik Tok these days! These are hilarious. The one with the constipated wife until she got a divorce is hilarious. 😆 Happy Sunday!

    1. That one totally cracked me up too. As did the patient who was scheduled to have a bowel resection but became a stockbroker instead. 🙂

      I’ve always thought that he used humor to make people laugh at loud, do a great big exhale so they were ready to inhale some good truth.

      Have a great day my friend!

    1. Thanks, Ritish! He did have a gift and you’re right, people liked being around him. He could always make humor into something sacred and wise too! Thanks for reading and commenting!

  4. I question these doctors notes, what were they thinking??!! Not just punctuation or spelling errors but complete weird thoughts! We’re they overworked? Was their chicken scratch handwriting misinterpreted? Did they lack the ability to speak logically? Clearly these doctors were on a completely different level than us mere mortals! 🤣🤣

  9. This gave me a good chuckle. I sent this over to my friend who is a doctor who periodically sends me the random miscellaneously bad notes he also encounters. And to think the rest of us agonize over making sure we send the perfect emails -_-
