After experiencing surgical psychosis while in the ICU, the nurse said, " Don't think,"which of course sent me into paranoid thoughts of why they didn't want me to be thinking.
Not funny at the time but it is now !
Your labs look great. Go get life insurance now!
"Greetings" …. a saying loved by lawyers. Exactly where I heard it other than Christmas. I liked the Christmas one better.
After my last hip replacement, I had draining tubes coming out of my thigh, I was one day post op and suffering. The doctor came in and asked "how are you doing?", I said "never felt better in my life". In other words, the dumbest question a doctor could ask, and in return, the most unlikely answer I could give. As a doctor, he should know how I'm feeling....
Miserable!

It wasn't what he said. When I woke from a lower endoscopy there were roses at the bedside.
"Greetings,
Hope you are doing well.
We received the labs back since your completion of treatment; unfortunately the hepatitis C is detectable"
(This is a private joke now with my son. When you have something bad to say, begin with - Greetings)
These comments are very funny! Thanks everyone for sharing.
"Are you sick?" really did make me laugh out loud. In a pained, wtf kinda way
At least we still have our sense of humor!
Your hair loss from interferon is very rare (only funny now, not then)
Doctor--You have cirrhosis.------ me---How bad is it.--- Doctor --I have seen worse.
Actually, this was a conversation I had with my doctor. I was having fun with him.
"Doctor, not that I have to worry at this point in my life, but I want to ask you something. You no doubt have seen the commercial for Viagra, where it states that if you have an erection for more than four hours, call your doctor". so I said, "wouldn't it make more sense to call a hooker?". He laughed and said "or maybe two". He was a cool doctor...
